Hello, see you Saturday at 11 am or Tuesday at 7:00 pm in the one-story Conference Center at St. Elizabeth Seton in Carlsbad! May 8th / May 13th are here to discuss Under the Mantle.

Herb had a great suggestion to look at the Catechism and this topic is a great way to get started:

“Therefore, before talking about Mary’s collaboration with God, it is worth discussing the basic principle that humans can cooperate with God” — I like this article’s emphasis on how our relationship with God in prayer affects others: http://www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/mary-mother-of-salvation

In my amateur opinion it may be helpful to distinguish between redemption and salvation when thinking about the terms Redemptrix or Co-Redeemer: http://catholicstand.com/pope-francis-knows-the-difference-between-redemption-and-salvation-do-you/

This is fairly technical and gets into the head and neck business that comes up in the book: https://www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/marya4.htm

Here’s a video with Fr. Gaitley from the same order on Mary and Divine Mercy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vf1jX1rVQw

Just like school, there’s a handout along with the video! And it’s by Saint Pope JP II: http://www.faithandreason.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Divine-Mercy-and-Mary-Fr.-Michael-Gaitley-MIC.pdf

Happy 50 Days of Easter, Happy Reading, and especially, Happy Mothers’ Day! -Karla
