TO MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS \u200b\u200b'MOTHER AND OUR GLORIOUS
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH He established the Marian dogmas
Mary Mother of God
Divine Maternity of Mary, for example, based on Sacred Scripture, and solemnly proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus in 431, not only is a doctrine, but also a prayer.
The annual Feast of Mary, Mother of God, which is celebrated at the beginning of the calendar year (January 1), indicates the initial prayers (the two "collections" of your choice) the meaning of perennial for us this extraordinary vocation .
In the first collection, he asks the Father to experience the intercession of Mary, since you have received through the author's life: "O God, who in virginity fruitful of Mary have given to men the blessings of eternal salvation, is' that we experience her intercession, because through her we have received the Author of life. "
In the second collection, so please the Father who, as Mary was home of the Incarnate Word, so that our lives are willing to accept the gifts of heaven: "Good Father, in which Mary, virgin and mother, blessed among all women, then you have the home of your Word made flesh among us, give us your spirit, for our whole lives under the sign of your blessing, is willing to accept your gift. "
Specifically, the liturgical pedagogy teaches us that we, like Mary and accompanied by her maternal and effective intercession, we may be home to Jesus, God's Word and Bread of eternal life. The "yes" Annunciation, through which Maria received the Word of God in her womb becoming the Mother of Jesus, is also "yes" of the baptized person who, in accepting Jesus as Mary becomes the home of Jesus, his monstrance grace tabernacle of his charity. It is the realization of the word of Jesus, saying: "Who is my mother and who are my brothers? Then he stretched out his hand toward his disciples said, Behold my mother and my brothers here, because whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, sister and mother " (Mt 12.48-50; cf. Mk 3:35).
Jesus, as he turned water into wine and bread into his blessed body, so for the maternal intercession of Mary, his mother and of the Church turns our earthly lives in "Trinity" in a House of God Trinity . Be able to put Jesus in our hearts, we welcome the Triune God: "Whoever receives me receives him who sent me" (Mt 10:40 and parallels).
The dogma of the divine motherhood of Mary and then a character of the foundation of Christian spirituality. Christian spirituality is a life of grace in communion with Jesus in the love of the Holy Spirit in obedience to the Father, and Mary was the first to experience this for us to become a teacher of spirituality. Consequently, to live fully the life of grace implies also be guided and supported maternal intercession of Mary.
Mary ever virgin
iconography Marian dogma of the perpetual virginity of Mary - the "Aeiparthenos", the "Evervirgins" (Council of Constantinople II, 553 AD) - is symbolically represented by three stars that adorn the mantle of Blessed Virgin. The three stars indicate the virginitas ante partum, in partu and the virginitas virginitas post partum. Georg relief, a great historian of the Marian dogmas, says the regard: "The fact that the Mother of God never ceased to be a virgin was a reality not only for the faithful of the time of Basil, but also those of later centuries. The ex Maria Virgine symbol of the universal Church was understood in the broadest sense and a high criterion of orthodoxy. "
virginal motherhood ensures that Jesus is an exclusive gift of the Triune God to humanity in Mary. An unknown author of the seventh century, which is named Eusebio Gallicano, creates an original comparison between Mary and the Church, both virgin and mother: "Just now you wonder about the man born of the virgin. Marvel at least now a novelty: a man who is born again. If you like, we make a comparison between these two mothers [...]. Through Mary was born who was from the beginning, through the Church has been reborn in the beginning was the one who perished, those generated in favor of the people, this raises the nations, that, as we know, has given birth once a child remaining a virgin, it continually gives birth through the virgin groom. So what you thought only a miracle over the centuries, admit it now as a normal function. "
The divine life in the womb of Mary was born in humanity spreads across the whole sacramental action of the Church. The Church, like Mary, the mother constantly, through baptism and other sacraments, brings back humanity to communion with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Immaculate Conception
The dogma of the Immaculate Conception, proclaimed by the Blessed Pius IX on December 8, 1854, proposed as a revealed divine truths of faith "the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary in the first instant of her conception , by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the savior of mankind, was preserved immune from all stain of original sin. "
Sin, the legacy of all born of woman, stops in front of Mary. If Jesus Christ is the all holy because his humanity is interamente santificata dalla sua persona divina, Maria è la tutta santa in virtù della grazia proveniente dal Padre, dalla carità dello Spirito e dai meriti del suo divin Figlio. Se Gesù è il redentore, Maria è la sua prima redenta. La redenzione di Maria non fu per liberazione dal peccato, ma per preservazione. Essa cioè non fu per nulla segnata dal peccato, ma ne fu preservata, per singolare privilegio divino. In Maria non ci fu liberazione, ma preservazione. Secondo la geniale intuizione del dottore dell’Immacolata, il beato Duns Scoto, Gesù Cristo ha esercitato in lei l’atto di mediazione più eccelso, preservandola dal peccato originale.
Diceva il Santo Padre Giovanni Paolo II in una sua catechesi Marian: "To Mary, the first redeemed by Christ, who has had the privilege not to be subject even for a moment the power of evil and sin, Christians look like the perfect model and icon of that holiness, which are called to reach, with the help of God's grace in their lives. "
Mary Immaculate reminds all baptized the perfection of holiness. The all-holy has been and continues to be in the Church safe driving that leads to the heights of evangelical perfection.
Assumption of the Mother of God
Almost summary of the wonderful mystery of Mary, 1 November 1950, Pius XII solemnly proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption Mary, with these words: "The revered Mother of God, so mysteriously united to Jesus Christ from all eternity with the same decree of predestination, immaculate in its conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer , which has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, in the end, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, she should be preserved from the corruption of the tomb, And conquered death, as her Son, might be taken up in soul and body to the glory of heaven, where Queen shines to the right of his Son, the immortal King of ages. "
As for all of humanity will be the resurrection of the body the end of time, for Mary, however, this event takes place at the end of his earthly life. To which his body is now living gloriously in heaven beside the glorious humanity of his Son Jesus Christ. States in that regard, the Holy Father John Paul II: "The condition of the eschatological Christ and Mary are not going to give equal footing. Mary, New Eve, has received from Christ, the new Adam, the fullness of grace and glory of heaven, having been resurrected by the Holy Ghost by the sovereign power of the Son. "
The dogma of the Assumption is not a true "discovery" in the last century. The belief in Mary's Assumption, body and soul into heavenly glory, belongs to the consciousness of the faith of the Church in both East and West since its inception. Pius XII, with the solemn proclamation of the Assumption, intended to formally announce to the world the nobility and dignity of the human body, mortified, humiliated, debased and profaned in many ways during the Second World War just ended. Faced with the concentration camp of Auschwitz and Dachau, where he had consumed the most irreverent violation of the human body, "proclaims the mystery of fate and the supernatural sublime dignity of every human body, called by the Lord to become an instrument of holiness and share in his glory.
