Paragraph 6. MARY – MOTHER OF CHRIST, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

971
“All generations will call me blessed”: “The Church’s devotion
to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”⁵¹³ The
Church rightly honors “the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the
most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of
‘Mother of God,’ to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and
needs…. This very special devotion … differs essentially from the adoration
which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy
Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration.”⁵¹⁴ The liturgical
feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an
“epitome of the whole Gospel,” express this devotion to the Virgin
Mary.⁵¹⁵
