For the past several months, I have posted a series of reflections and contemplations based upon the Theotokos, Mary. In them, I have tried to reflect upon many of the questions some people have had in regards Catholic thought on Mary. Since I write as a Byzantine Catholic, I thought my Eastern sensibility might give insight that others have not heard or considered. Even if some of the reflections engage particular Western titles for Mary,  such as Mediatrix of All Graces, I believe that as an Easterner I still has something to say about them (and unlike some Easterners, I do not find the titles problematic as long as they are understood properly).

At the suggestion from Michael Pezzulo of Steel Magnificat, I have put together a list and link to all my posts in the series here. This has been done in order to help people who have not read them all to find them as well as for those who would like to go back to various posts and re-read them without having to search for them.

While I have not dealt with every issue or concern many have with Marian theology, I hope what I have provided suffices as an introduction. I might write some more reflections at a future date, and if you have any concerns which you would like addressed in them, let me know in the comments.
