Today, during his homily, Monsignor Romero referenced the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Compendium is a wonderful reference to Catholic teaching that, in turn, references back into the more detailed Catechism of the Catholic Church. Both books are wonderful reference texts to have.
The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is available by clicking here for the Vatican website.
And the Catechism of the Catholic Church is available by clicking here for the Vatican website.
During the homily, Monsignor Romero referenced paragraph 142 in the Compendium from Chapter 3, "I Believe in the Holy Spirit".
142. What is the work of the Spirit in Mary?
721-726
744
The Holy Spirit brought to fulfillment in Mary all the waiting and the preparation of the Old Testament for the coming of Christ. In a singular way he filled her with grace and made her virginity fruitful so that she could give birth to the Son of God made flesh. He made her the Mother of the “whole Christ”, that is, of Jesus the Head and of the Church his body. Mary was present with the twelve on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit inaugurated the “last days” with the manifestation of the Church.
