“Called in the Gospels ‘the mother of Jesus’, Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as ‘the mother of my Lord’. In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father’s eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly ‘Mother of God’ (Theotokos).” (CCC 495)

Writing by hand strengthens learning because it forces your brain to slow down and process meaning. When you form letters, multiple brain regions activate together. These include memory, language, and motor control. This deeper engagement helps information stick longer than typing or scrolling.

Research from University of Stavanger shows stronger brain connectivity during handwriting than keyboard use. Studies by Virginia Berninger and Karin Harman James confirm that handwriting improves recall and concept learning. A landmark study from Princeton University and University of California Los Angeles found that students who handwrote notes understood ideas better than laptop users. If you want durable knowledge, pen and paper still work best.
