Walking with Mary and Jesus Throughout the Year

In this week’s Bible study, Anthony Ally guided the group through both teaching and open questions. From practical matters such as when and how to make the sign of the Cross, to deeper theological reflections, the conversation wove together clarity and encouragement. Anthony highlighted the connection between the Feast of the Nativity and the Feast of the Dormition—the “bookends” of the Church year—and how the cycle of the 12 Great Feasts (plus Pascha and Pentecost) continually draws us into the life of Christ and His Mother. He urged us to see Mary’s humility and Christ’s obedience as the pattern for our own lives, calling us to faithfulness in worship and consistency in daily living. Many participants shared how this study broke through personal struggles and gave them strength in their walk with Christ.
