24 Jesus Christ is True God and True Man

In this episode I discuss how Jesus Christ is true God and true Man. That is, two natures, one Divine and one human, united in the Divine Person of the Son. This is what is called the “hypostatic union”. There is no human “person” in Jesus Christ. I speak about the heresies of Gnostic Docetism, Arianism and Nestorianism. Finally, I explain how the Virgin Mary is properly called the Mother of God (Council of Ephesus, 431 A.D.) I finish talking about the most ancient recorded prayer to the Virgin Mary, the “Sub Tuum Praesidium” or “We fly to thy protection”. Check the recording of this prayer sung by our Miles Christi seminarians at the end of the episode!
