Genealogy of Grace: Mary

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the last and greatest woman mentioned in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus. From Mary we learn that God favors the humble, that the proper response to God’s grace is a robust faith, and that even the greatest of saints exalts God and not herself. When we live out these truths like Mary did, we will also know what it means to be “full of grace.”
