Sunday School Curriculum Grade 12 Week 3 - The Virgin Mary in the Coptic Church Objective: Giving honor and praise to the holy Virgin according to the commandments of divine inspiration. Memory verse: ―Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word‖ (Luke 1:38). Introduction: The fathers consider Virgin Mary as the mother of us all. We also like to think of the resemblance between the Virgin Mary and the Church. This enables us to examine our relationship with our mother, the Virgin; as well as estimate our membership in the holy, universal and Apostolic Church of the One God. Lesson Outline: I. The Virgin Receives The Good News The holy Virgin was a representative of mankind when she received the good news. All mankind responded through her holy mouth as she received and expressed her acceptance of the Holy Incarnation. On that day, she said: ―Behold the maidservant of the Lord!‖ This was to be fulfilled in the fullness of time. It was an announcement of mankind‘s spiritual preparedness to receive God among them. The Church resembles the Virgin in that both are the holy receptacle that carries the Word announcing salvation and God‘s message to mankind. Insofar as the Church obeys the commandments, accepts them, as testified in the lives of her children and as she reveals her features and characteristics that indicate that she is the consecrated bride. Just as the mouth of the holy Virgin was filled with praise, so the children of the Church sing songs of praise and prayer. II. Meditation on Virginity St. Augustine says about the Mother of God ―She is a virgin while she is pregnant, a virgin though a mother, and a virgin at her death.‖ In the Saturday Theotokia, we say, ―She was called the mother of God, the real King; and having given birth to Him, she remained a virgin by an astonishing decree.‖ The Church is also like a virgin honored by God and His commandments. She is as a spotless bride. The Church is also like a virgin for she turns all the feelings of Her children towards Her Redeemer. III. Names of the Virgin The Coptic Church refers to St. Mary by many names such as: 1. The True Queen 2. The Ever Virgin 3. The Second Heaven 188 AUGUST
