The article goes beyond simply quoting Bible verses. It looks at the original Greek word used in Luke’s Gospel, kecharitomene, to explain what “full of grace” actually means at the deepest level of the text.

And it addresses the questions that come up most often, including the meaning of titles like “Full of Grace,” “Holy Mary,” and “Mother of God,” and why Catholics ask Mary to pray for them, drawing on the teaching of the Mystical Body of Christ found in 1 Corinthians 12. ✝️
