What the Catholic  faith believes about
   Mary is based on what it believes about
   Christ, and what it teaches about Mary
   illumines in turn its faith in Christ.

                            Mary’s Divine Motherhood
  Called in the Gospels ‘the mother of Jesus’, Mary is acclaimed
by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before
the birth of her son, as ‘the mother of my Lord.’ In fact, the
One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly
became her son according to the flesh, was none other than the
Father’s eternal son, the second person of the Holy Trinity.
Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly ‘Mother of God’
(Theotokos)                                                       CCC495

              The Immaculate Conception
 The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the
  first moment of her conception, by a singular
  grace and privilege of almighty God and by
  virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ saviour
  of the human race preserved immune from all
   stain of original sin.
                                                      CCC 491

                                       The Virginity of Mary
 Mary ‘remained a virgin in conceiving her Son, a virgin in
giving birth to Him, a virgin in carrying Him, a virgin in
nursing Him at her breast, always a virgin’
(St.Augustine,Serm.186,1:PL38,999): with her whole being she
is ‘the handmaid of the Lord’ (Lk 1:38)
                                                                      CCC 510

                                The Assumption
 Finally, the Immaculate Virgin, preserved
 free from all stain of original sin, when the
 course of her earthly life was finished, was
 taken up body and soul into heavenly glory
 and exulted by the Lord as Queen over all
  things, so that she might be the more fully
 conformed to her Son the Lord of Lords and
  conqueror of sin and death.
                                                     CCC 966

                              Queen of Heaven and Earth

   From the ancient Christian documents, from prayers of the
  liturgy, from the innate piety of the Christian people, from
 works of art, from every side We have gathered witnesses to
  the regal dignity of the Virgin Mother of God; We have likewise
 shown that the arguments deduced by Sacred Theology from the
 treasure store of the faith fully confirm this truth. Such a
 wealth of witnesses makes up a resounding chorus which changes
 the sublimity of the royal dignity of the Mother of God and of
 men, to whom every creature is subject, who is "exalted to the
  heavenly throne, above the choirs of angels."[61]

                       Mediatrix of All Grace
 This motherhood of Mary in the order of  grace
 continues uninterruptedly from the consent which
 she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she
 sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until
 the eternal fulfilment of all the elect. Taken up to
 heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but
  by her manifold intercession continues to bring us
 the gifts of eternal salvation.
                                                            CCC 969

                      Co-operation in the Redemption
 Mary’s role in the Church is inseparable from her union
 with Christ  and flows directly from it. “This union of
 the mother with the Son in the  work of salvation  is
 made manifest from the time of Christ’s virginal
 conception up to his death.”  By pronouncing her “fiat”
 at the Annunciation and giving her consent to the
 Incarnation, Mary was already collaborating with
 the whole work her Son was to accomplish.
