THEOTOKOS Scriptural Foundation: Isaiah 7:14 and Luke 1:35 (NABRE) “The holy child to be born will be called the Son of God.” — Luke 1:35 Centuries before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah foretold the sign of Emmanuel, God with us: a virgin would conceive and bear a son. At the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel reveals to Mary that the Holy Spirit will come upon her and that the child she bears will be called the Son of God. Theotokos, the ancient Greek title meaning God-bearer or Mother of God, expresses one of the most profound truths of the Christian faith. Mary is honored with this title not because she is the source of Christ’s divinity, but because the child conceived in her womb is Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man. In A.D. 431, the Council of Ephesus solemnly affirmed Mary’s title as Theotokos, safeguarding the Church’s profession that Jesus Christ is one divine Person possessing both a divine and a human nature. The painting contemplates that extraordinary moment when the eternal Word entered human history through Mary’s humble acceptance of God’s will. Her response at the Annunciation becomes an expression of complete faith, obedience, and surrender to divine grace. Through its movement, contrasting forms, and expressive composition, Theotokos invites the viewer to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation: the infinite God drawing near to humanity, taking flesh and dwelling among us. For in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, heaven and earth meet, and the promise of Emmanuel is fulfilled: God is with us. Deacon Rudy Calsoncin (Ret.)
