MOTHER MARY OF EUCHARIST
Title borne of Faith – Gloria Falcao Dodd of the International Marian Research Institute at the University of Dayton believes the title Mary, Mother of the Eucharist logically flows from basic Catholic belief: “If the Eucharist is Jesus, and Mary the mother of Jesus, it makes sense that she is Mother of the Eucharist.”
While Mary exemplifies many virtues, Dodd believes her particular virtues of faith and love especially lead us to Christ. “If we are to believe as Mary did that Jesus is God – remember at the Annunciation the angel said her child would be “Son of the Most High” – we can have faith in Him like hers that preserves,” explained Dodd, who holds a doctorate in scared theology. “So much so that when a need arises – like when there is no wine at the wedding feast of Cana – we can approach Him [as she did], and He will act.” (Legatus.ord)
