Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Mary was greeted by St. Gabriel the Archangel to announce the birth of the Son of God. What was her reply to this greeting?

Answer: "Be it done unto me according to your word."

Mary's response was "Be it done unto me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). This reply was brought about by humility, her complete resignation to the will of God.
2. The prayer "Hail Mary" is one of the most loved Marian prayers. The portion of the response which says "Holy Mary, Mother of God" was based on the words of which character in the Bible?

Answer: St. Elizabeth

This portion of the prayer is based on the words of St. Elizabeth when Mary visited her. This verse is located at Luke 1:42-43.

"[Elizabeth] cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. How does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
3. There are four Marian dogmas confirmed and approved by the Catholic Church. Which of the following is not a Marian dogma?

Answer: The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

A dogma proposes truths in relation to Divine Revelation. It means that these truths are revealed by the very being through either a vision or miracles.

The following are the four Marian dogmas as declared by the Catholic Church. These are:

Divine Motherhood
Perpetual Virginity
Immaculate Conception
Assumption of Mary

There is a nice page on Marian dogmas at the University of Dayton's Marian Library website.
4. Throughout the centuries, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to numerous people and a multitude of places. Now, which of the following saints did NOT experience a vision of the Blessed Virgin?

Answer: St. Kateri Tekakwitha

St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680) did not experience any visions during her life, but she is devoted to Mary. Her story is marked with an intense love for Christ, her times spent in prayer, and her extreme mortifications.

St. Marie Bernadette Soubirous (1844-1879) was the witness of the Immaculate Conception.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus (1873-1897) received a grace of healing after she saw the Blessed Virgin smile at her. (See "Story of A Soul".)

St. Maria Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) received visions from the Blessed Virgin that she recorded in her diary along with her revelations of Jesus.
5. Do Catholics adore Mary?

Answer: No, they venerate her.

Adoration and veneration are similar but different terms. Both are used to describe levels of worship, but the difference is to whom the honor is given.

Catholics believe adoration is given to God, and God alone can be adored. This kind of giving honor is called latria.

Veneration is given to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the saints, and beati. For Mary, this veneration is called hyperdulia while for the saints, it is called dulia.
6. Mary is said to be descended from which character of the Old Testament through her father?

Answer: David

Her father, St. Joachim, was believed to be descended from the family of David.
Her mother, St. Anne, was believed to be descended from the family of Aaron.
7. As Simeon the Prophet foretold, Mary experienced Seven Sorrows that modern Catholics commemorate. Which of the following is not included in the list?

Answer: The death of Elizabeth

The Seven Sorrows of Mary, which are all found in the Gospels, are all based upon the loss of the mother of her child.

The loss of Jesus in Jerusalem for three days caused Mary great sadness, but nonetheless joy after they found Him in the temple.

The flight into Egypt caused Mary sorrow due to the fact that King Herod ordered the killing of children 2 years old below.

Do we still have to explain Mary's sorrow during the Crucifixion? I believe it is already obvious. Who would want to see their child nailed to a cross?
8. When Mary appeared to St. Philomena in her cell in the dungeon, she compared herself to what celestial body?

Answer: Moon

Mary compared herself to the Moon.

According to Mary, since Philomena (who lived in Roman times) is called "Daughter of Light," she is the rightful child and spouse of Christ, who is the Sun, and she is her rightful daughter, for she is the Moon.
9. This event is seen in the tradition of the Catholic Church wherein the Lord did not permit that the body of Mary would experience decay. She was taken body and soul into heaven. What is this event which is a Marian dogma?

Answer: The Assumption of Mary

She was taken into heaven body and soul. This event is called the Assumption, which Catholics celebrate on August 15.
10. Mary gave to the world the Rosary and the Scapular. According to the Prophecy of St Dominic, what did she promise to do with the Rosary and the Scapular?

Answer: She would save the world.

According to an author named Ventimiglia, in a history of the Carmelite Order, Saint Dominic made this statement to Saint Francis of Assisi and Brother Angelus: "One day, Brother Angelus, to your Order of Carmel the Most Blessed Virgin Mary will give a devotion to be known as the Brown Scapular, and to my Order of Preachers she will give a devotion to be known as the Rosary. And one day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, she will save the world." This is not intended to suggest that humanity's salvation comes from any source other than Jesus Christ, but that the Rosary and the Scapular can be means of helping us to understand and accept His sacrifice.
