Segment 1 – Intro and News
Segment 2 & 3 – Bible Mary – The Mother of Jesus in the Word of God
“In Bible Mary: The Mother of Jesus in the Word of God, Fr. John Waiss pulls back the pages of Sacred Scripture to reveal a portrait of Mary that has been hiding in plain sight since the time of Christ. With the dedication of a man deeply in love with his subject, he gives us the insights and keys we need to understand that Mary is not just a bit player in salvation history or a mere tool of the divine will. Rather, she is the new Eve and glorious God-bearer foretold in the Old Testament and revealed in the New.”
Fr. John Waiss is a priest of Prelature of Opus Dei and currently pastor of St. Mary of the Angels parish in Chicago. He has preached numerous retreats and day of recollections and holds a Ph.D. in ecclesiastical philosophy from Rome’s Pontifical University of Santa Croce, as well as a B.S. and M.S. from Notre Dame and Stanford.
