I hope to in the future. I hope to be one of them soon! I watched them both last year and this year. I learned a lot! I was fortunate to be able to watch the Bible and the Virgin Mary. There is so much to learn about the Bible and about Mary. Michawl Leonard made the series exciting and the need to get to the next lesson to continue. I always thought that I knew Mary. I did not begin to know her. Now, I feel very comfortable and close to the Virgin Mary. The desire to learn more is very strong.
Hahn and Michael Leonard for this remarkable series I look forward to more of the same. I wanted to deepen my knowledge of and love of Mary. I desired to be able to pray the rosary with greater devotion and understanding of the mysteries. This study greatly helped me reach my goal. However, the study did so much more in strengthening my relationship to Jesus and his Mother. Also, the presentation was excellent in laying out each area with such clarity. It was so important to see the linking of the Old and New Testaments and their relationship to the Church dogmas.
I look forward to other offerings. I loved this series, and did it last year. I was doing another series this lent so did not repeat it. The Bible and the Virgin Mary; it is a most beautiful, enriching and inspiring series. It is very informative, extremely well researched and very well presented. Superlative in any respect; I highly recommend it for personal and for group study, to learn more about our Blessed Mother and her role in Salvation History. Scott Hahn and to Matthew Leonard. They are both very well done and I highly recommend them to everyone.
I very much appreciated that they were available for free and that we could watch them at any point during the school day. Matthew Leonard was a good speaker and did a great job of sharing the information from Scripture, Scott Hahn and Jacob Wood. Thank you for gifting everyone with these two series. Thank you Scott Hahn! Your books and bible study have impacted my life in such a huge way!! Write more tell us more!!! Thank you God Bless. The Bible and the Virgin Mary was of great interest to me, because I needed to be able to respond to many of the terrible slurs against Our Lady, and the series left me with the knowledge I needed.
When our first class had finished, one of the ladies told me that when I had put up my poster in the church, advertising the bible study, she was over the moon! She said that the study, at that time, was an answer to prayer. The reason was simple, she was a recent convert and was having a difficult time with the Blessed Virgin.
When the Bible and the Sacraments became available, she was one of the first people to register. Both programmes are beautiful in presentation and content. I give it a 5 rating. So deep, real, and instructive that I listened again and again. God bless you for your work. This video presentation was beautifully done in every aspect.
The explanations with references to the OT and NT are enlightening. The content is completely orthodox and fully explained. The touching music and pictures enhanced the total presentation Matthew Leonard. Hahn for all your biblical research which made this presentation possible. This study is an exceptional resource for understanding the Biblical foundations of Churches beliefs and practices regarding the Virgin Mary. I suspect even people well versed in the Marian practices will also find this useful.
I realised her greatnes and role after watching this. She is just perfectly simple, one of us, and on the other hand and most holy woman in history. As her husband Joseph, she never puts herself in the center. Excellent series beautifully presented which gave a really good insight into the biblical significance of Our Lady. I thoroughly enjoyed the bible study The Bible and the Virgin Mary. I really figured that it would just be a rehash of all that I know about the Virgin Mary but it was so much more. I learned so much about the Virgin Mary and her role in the life of Christ.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is in need of enriched learning of the bible.
I ordered the workbook and enjoyed doing the two together — the video and the workbook. I viewed the Bible and the Virgin Mary on my laptop during Lent Settling onto the sofa one evening, I was blown away! The biblical cross referencing is staggering. I began to look forward to the quieter part of the evening when I could immerse myself in Mary. But a concern did develop. I feel there is so much information, it is a cognitive overload. Much of it is auditory and I know myself as a strong visual learner. During the second lesson, I had the feeling things were going in one ear and out the other.
Better to take notes and so, because I was in my own home, the advantage of backing up and replaying the stream for content to be organized, written down and reviewed was available. The scope and range of the Virgin Mary series runs deep, I cannot imagine it being shown as a one hour weekly bible study in a parish.
I enjoyed this study of Mary immensely and found it illuminating, yet scholarly, not for the weak willed or faint hearted. The lessons both on the Bible and the Sacraments and the Bible and the Blessed Virgin Mary are quite inspiring and enlightening. It is very uplifting.
As Catholics, let us request the Blessed Virgen Mary to put us all under her blue mantle for protection and guidance. I very much enjoyed this informative and visually lush series. I am not a practicing Catholic, but a very active Christian in various other churches. It was wonderful to celebrate Lent with this series and to learn more about what my Catholic friends and family believe. Thank you for making it readily and freely available. I loved this series! It was the first time that I participated in an online study and it was wonderful.
The visuals were meaningful and reflective of the subject offered that day. My love for the Blessed Mother grew with each lesson. The information I learned will help me share with others my love and admiration for her loving fiat for humanity. Thank you all for your blessed work! This series has not only been extremely enlightening, but it has also been beautifully presented. I am so happy St. Paul Center offered this to us — I am forever grateful. It was a privilege to view this series. Awesome and inspiring just as the Bible and the Sacraments. Love how the scriptures are used and how the Book of Revelation is revealed to us.
I now have a whole new understanding of our Queen Mary, our Mother as I never had before. The use of your materials for a group setting is perfect. Having the length of the DVD at 30 minutes or less is just the right. You are able to stop the viewing at any time and discuss before moving on so that the individual class can be customized. For lent this year I decided I wanted to learn something faith based.
So I did the Mary and sacrament with the bible series. While watching the Mary videos I felt so full of hope. It was almost overwhelming at times.
I am so greatful that these series were recommended to be by my friend. I fell blessed having the privilege to learn from both series. I will not lie. The Mary series was my favorite. It just felt hope filled. I have a particular affection for Our Lady of Guadalupe. I was blessed by my visit to her shrine in Mexico. We have been very warmly received by the Spanish community.
We also work with the ST. Thank you so very much for the opportunity to learn in the comfort of our own home! I enjoyed the opening information on the Marian shrines. Great reminder, clearly presented in plain English.
The visuals and music were beautiful. The content was good. We have a thorough background in the faith. In general I would highly recommend them. This was an amazing study. I was so impressed by the study that I purchased it and presented it to three local parishes in my town. It was extremely well received and I plan to do it again with the Bible and the Sacraments. The presentations are extremely profound and in-depth but easy to understand and comprehend. Thank you for all that you do and God bless. The Bible and the Virgin Mary was one of the best programs I have seen….
God Bless all of you and your families. Brought insight to my understanding of Mary, our Mother and deepened my love for our heavenly Mother. Some of the apparitions that were covered were very new to me. I had never heard of them. Thank You for given me this really amazing information during lent! May God Bless you all!!!
Understand more the relationship about Virgin Mary, the Bible, the church and each individuals. It really helps grow in faith. This is superb and powerful! Thank you and God bless! It was a beautiful presentation. I loved the way each section started with a story of a Marian Apparition. I love watching them over and over. I feel blessed being a Catholic and how lucky we have the Blessed Virgin Mary watching over us.
This was a great presentation and if it came my way again I would take it again as a review. Thank you for letting me share in this program. The study was wonderful and I will keep the workbook for future reference. Since I currently attend a Protestant church and was brought up Presbyterian, this means a lot to me. Lots of food for thought and prayer in this study. Thank you so much for making it available! God bless you all! I have watched both series and find them wonderful! I have encouraged my two daughters to watch, as well as two English-speaking friends here in my small village in France.
Easy to follow and so informative. Explains so many nuances that I never pieced together before, and I really appreciated the recaps of prior lessons in bringing everything together. Excellent for novices who may be intimidated by a bible study group. I also loved the clips at the beginning on the apparitions. I needed the intelligent hand holding that was laid out in this series. I have been watching The Bible and the Virgin Mary.
Especially the structure of the classes beginning with a Marian apparition was really an eyeopener to me. Nor do we have to see them as inferior. This is a testimony of the fact our faith is alive and a steppingstone to fully integrate the faith in our life. Special thanks to the auther and all who made it possible to watch this for free.
On top of this it was visually very enjoyable to watch en listen to! Both series were excellent in content plus delivery. I learned much as well refreshed what I had learned earlier. May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire and guide you all. This was an excellent course. The information really helped to enhance my knowledge of the Blessed Virgin and her role in the life of Jesus and in our lives.
I have always loved Mary and did do a lot of reading to learn more about her. But this course really brought out her message to the world by focusing on her apparitions to so many saints and the amazing things that followed. I would recommend this course to anyone with a desire to learn more about our Blessed Mother.
So many learned for the first time the vital role the Blessed Mother played in our Salvation history. It was a very positive experience for us.
While Catholics know Mary is important, many never fully grasp how essential she really is. By skec1 , posted April 17, By Maribel alvarez , posted April 13, The tradition of lighting a candle in each window is not the origin of the name "Candlemas", which instead refers to a blessing of candles. Born of a Virgin 26 min Lesson 7: In general I would highly recommend them. This feast never falls in Lent; the earliest that Ash Wednesday can fall is 4 February, for the case of Easter on 22 March in a non-leap year.
Learning the Biblical foundation for our beliefs about Mary was awe inspiring! Knowing Mary is vital to our faith, and learning why we believe what we do just wraps it all up for us. Thank you for putting that wonderful series together. I appreciated the connection between the different Marian shrines and the different Scriptural roles of Mary. This was an amazing series. I loved the pictures!!! Watching both the series on our Mother Mary and on the Sacraments has given me the words to convey my faith to others and where the Bible confirms these beliefs.
Thank you for running these series for free. Please continue to make these available during the special seasons of the year. I bought the series on the Sacraments to review with my grandchildren and may buy the series on Mother Mary next year. I highly recommend that everyone watch a least one episode, because once you see one, no one will have to tell you to watch another you will be drawn to it!
Excellent insights to our mother and the mother of our Lord. I hope to run as a study at my parish soon. The Bible and the Virgin Mary has been one of my favorites to watch and learn so much about our holy mother. The images were amazing and it was well explained. I love the way Matthew Leonard explains each episode. It has enriched my spiritual life and increased my faith. Thank you so much for delivering educational and inspirational biblical studies to help us grow in our faith.
Beautiful as Mary is beautiful. Because of this bible study, my faith was enriched and my devotion to Mary increased. I am proud to be a Catholic now. Thanks you Scott and Matthew.
