Jesus is who we believe as God of all. He is a unique person because he not only is God, but he also is human. He didn't want to make himself an exception and so like billions of all human beings, like us who are not victims of abortion or of contraception, (or at the very least, survivors of GASP abortion!), he wished to be born of a mother. He chose Mary to be his own mother.
Mary is the mother of the unique person Jesus Christ. She is the mother not only of the humanity, but also the divinity of her son. Theo is Greek for God, tokos means "bearer of". And so Mary, who bore Jesus in her womb, is then Theotokos. Mary is the bearer of God.
