Excellence and necessity of devotion to the Blessed Virgin

confess with the whole Church that Mary was a pure creature from the hands of the Most High, compared to its infinite majesty, is smaller than an atom or rather nothing at all, since it is only the one, and therefore this great Lord, always independent and sufficient to itself, has not nor has not yet been absolutely need the Holy Virgin for the accomplishment of his will and the manifestation of his glory: he has to want to do everything.
I say however, that things are supposéescomme [1] God who wanted to start and complete his greatest works by the Blessed Virgin since it was formed, it is probable that will not change in driving ever and ever: for he is God and changes not in his thoughts or his conduct.
God the Father has given its unique [2] the world by Mary sighs qu'aient pushed the patriarchs, some requests made qu'aient the prophets and saints of the old law for four thousand years for this treasure, there were only Mary who merited, and found favor with God by the power of his prayers and the height of his virtues [3] . The world was not worthy, "says St. Augustine, to receive the Son of God immediately hand of the Father, He gave it to Mary so that the world should receive by it. The Son of God became man for our salvation, but in Mary and Mary. God the Holy Spirit formed Jesus in Mary, but after asking his consent by a first ministers of his court [4] .
God the Father has sent Mary his fertility as a mere creature was able to give it the power to produce his son and all the members of his mystical body [5] . God the Son descended into her womb, as the new Adam in paradise, to take his kindnesses and to operate in secret wonders of grace.
God made man has found his freedom to be imprisoned in its bosom He has triumphed its strength to be carried away by the blessed virgin, he found his fame and her father to hide its splendor to all creatures here below just to reveal [6] that Mary He glorified his independence and his majesty to depend on this kind Virgin in her conception, birth, in his presentation at the temple, in his hidden life of thirty years until his death when she had to attend just to do with it that same sacrifice, and to be slain by his consent to the Eternal Father [7] as formerly Isaac Abraham's consent to God's will: it is she who has nursed, fed, maintained, high and sacrificed for us.
O admirable and incomprehensible length of a God, the Holy Spirit has been ignored in the Gospel, although we had hidden nearly all the wonderful things that incarnate Wisdom has made in his hidden life to show us the price [8] ! Jesus Christ has given more glory to God the Father in the submission he had his mother for thirty years, than he would have given all the land by converting the operation of the greatest wonders [9] . Oh! we glorify God when we are highly subjected to please him, to Mary, the example of Jesus Christ our only model!

contemplating his Ewe lamb being dragged to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7) , consumed with grief, Mary followed with other women, and shouting: "Where are you, my child? Why do you bring to fulfillment and your fast running (Ps 18:6)? Are there still has other wedding at Cana, is this now that you're going so fast for them to make wine with water? Can I go with you, my child, or is it better to wait for you? Tell me a word, the Word, do not pass in silence before me ... Thou art my son and God ...
"You come to a wrongful death and no one shares your pain. Pierre did not go with you, he who said: "Never, I do not deny you, even if I die" (Mt 26,35). He left you this Thomas, who exclaimed: "Let us die all with him" (Jn 11:16). And the others, close friends, those who must judge the twelve tribes (Matthew 19:28), where are they now? Still one more, but you, yourself, my child, you die for all. It is your salary for having saved all mankind and have served, my son and my God. "
Turning to Mary, who was released from her cried:" Why are you crying, mother? ... I do not suffer? not to die? How, then I save him Adam? Do not live in the tomb? How do I bring him back to life those who dwell in hell? Why are you crying? Cree rather: 'That he suffers voluntarily, my son and my God. 'Virgin wise, do not go crazy with similar' (Mt 25.1 s); you're in the wedding, do not like if you were standing outside ... Do not cry any more, but rather say: 'Take pity on Adam, Eve, have mercy, you are my son and my God.
"Do not worry, mother, first you see me out of the tomb. I'll come show you what I bought misfortunes Adam sweats what I paid for it. To my friends, I will reveal the brands that I show in my hands.

HEART PIERCED THE TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY

St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort

INTRODUCTION

It

by the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus Christ came into the world, and it is also through her that he must reign in the world. Mary was very hidden in his life, which is why it is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church Alma Mater ... "Mother and hidden secret" [1] . His humility was so profound that it has not been attraction on earth more powerful and more continuous, than to hide itself and to every creature, only to be known only to God.
God to fulfill the requests it in him to hide it, impoverishing and humiliating, took pleasure in hiding in its conception, its birth in his life, his mysteries, in His resurrection and Assumption in respect of all human creatures [2] . His own parents do not know [3] and the angels would often ask each other: is Quoe ista? .. "Who is that? "Because the Most High they hid; or, if discovered them something, he hid them infinitely more.
God the Father has consented that it made no miracle in his life, at least that broke out, although she is given the power, God the Son has made it scarcely speak, although he had communicated his wisdom and God the Holy Spirit has agreed that the apostles and evangelists only speak very little and that so it was necessary to know Jesus Christ, though it was his faithful wife [4] .
Mary is the great masterpiece of the Most High, which he reserved knowledge and possession. Mary is the Mother of the Son admirable, he took pleasure in humiliating and hide [5] during his life to promote his humility, treating the name "woman, mulier, like a stranger [6] , though in his heart he esteemed and loved him more than all the angels and men. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful wife of the Holy Spirit, where there is only he who enters. Mary is the sanctuary and the rest of the Holy Trinity, where God is most beautifully and divinely no place in the universe, not excepting his dwelling upon the cherubim and seraphim And he is allowed to any creature, however pure it may be, to enter without a great privilege [7] .
I say with the saints: the divine Mary is the earthly paradise of the new Adam, where he became incarnate by the operation. the Holy Spirit, to work wonders incomprehensible is the great and the divine world of God, where there are ineffable beauties and treasures, it is the magnificence of the Most High, where he hid, as in it, his only Son [8] , and in him, everything is most excellent and most precious. Oh! Oh! that great and hidden things the mighty God has made this wonderful creature as it is itself obliged to say, despite his deep humility: Fecit mihi magna which is Potens [9] ! The world does not know, because he is incapable and unworthy.
Saints have said admirable things of this holy city of God, and they have never been more eloquent and happier, as they themselves admit that when they spoke. After that they cry out that the height of her merits, she raised to the throne of divinity [10] , can not be seen, that the breadth of its charity, it has more extensive than the land can not be measured, that the greatness of his power, it was God himself up on a [11] , may not understand, and finally the depth of his humility and all its virtues and graces, which are an abyss, can not be probed. O
height incomprehensible! O ineffable width! O enormous size! O impenetrable abyss! Every day, throughout the earth to the other in the highest heaven, in the deepest abyss, while fishing, just published the admirable Mary. The nine choirs of angels, men of all sexes, ages, conditions, religions, good and bad, to the devils, are obliged to call him Blessed, willingly or unwillingly, by] the force of truth. All the angels in heaven, he cried incessantly, "said St. Bonaventure: Sancta, Sancta, Sancta Maria, Dei Genetrix Virgo and [12] and they offered him millions of millions of times every day salutation of the angels, Ave Maria, etc.. Prostrating themselves before her, they ask him for grace to honor some of his commandments, to St. Michael [13] , says St. Augustine, though the prince of all the heavenly court, is the most zealous to him and make him make all kinds of honors, still waiting for the honor of going to his word, service to one of his servants.
whole earth is full of His glory, especially among Christians when it is taken for guardianship and protective in several kingdoms, provinces, dioceses and cities, several [14] cathedrals consecrated to God under her name; pointd ' church without an altar in his honor; point of land or township where there is any one of his miraculous images where all sorts of ailments are cured, and all kinds of property obtained; both guilds and congregations in his honor; many religions [15] under his name. and protection of both brothers and sisters of all fraternities and so many religious men and women of all religions [16] who publish her praises and proclaim His mercies. There is not a small child who stuttered in the Ave Maria, do not rent, there is little sinner who, in his hardiness even in it has some spark of confidence, it does There is not even a devil in hell who does not respect the fear.
After that, we must truly say with the Saints: De Maria Nunquam satis ... "We have not yet sufficiently praised, exalted, honored, loved and served Mary. She has earned even more praise, respect, love and service.
After that, we must say with the Holy Spirit: Omnis gloria ejus ab intus Filiae Regis ... "All Glory to the King's Daughter is at home", as if all the glory go to him outside the environment at the sky and the earth was nothing compared to that received by it in by the Creator, and who is not known for small creatures [17] which can not penetrate the secret of secrets of the King.
After that, we must exclaim with the Apostle: Nec oculus vidit, nec auris audivit, nee in cor hominis Ascendit ... "Neither eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor the human heart has understood the beauty, the grandeur and excellence of Mary," the miracle of miracles of grace, the nature and glory. If you want to understand the Mother, "says a saint, understand the Son [18] because it is a worthy Mother of God. Hic taceat omnis lingua ... "Every tongue is silent here. "My heart just
dictate everything I have just written, with special joy, to show that the divine Mary was hitherto unknown [19] and that is one reason why Jesus Christ is not known as it should be. If then, as it is certain, the reign of Jesus Christ enters the world, it will be a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who gave birth the first time , and the second will burst [20] .

[1] This name Alma Mater is derived from the final Compline antiphon for Advent. Is the word of the Church and the Church does here is to translate the teaching of the Holy Spirit on Mary, Mother of Jesus our Redeemer. But the blessed L.-M. Montfort was wrong the meaning of the word alma quisignifie amiable, beneficent, nurturing, and not hidden and secret. The thought is nevertheless correct.
[2] It is certain that in his birth, and in most circumstances of life that our author calls his mysteries, Mary did not appear with his real greatness and perfection: it was hidden. But those who believed in the divinity of the Son believed the fact to her divine motherhood, the most excellent of its securities.
[3] before Mary was the mother of Jesus and Jesus his son was not known God, the same parents of Mary could not know the full extent of his grace and his greatness.
[4] The wife of the Holy Spirit.
[5] Who took pleasure in humiliating and hide.
[6] It is worth noting that this phrase may have another meaning, all honor and filial affection.
[7] Enter perfectly in the intelligence of the privileges of Mary and devotion that should have for it is indeed a great privilege Blessed with L.-M. Montfort has particularly enjoyed.
[8] As God, Jesus is eternal in the bosom of his Father as a man he was for a time in the womb of Mary his mother.
[9] "He has done great things for me, the Almighty! "
[10] The merits of the Mother of God does not rise so high as those of her divine Son, obviously, but they come immediately after.
[11] Because it has on our Lord's tender authority of a mother about her son.
[12] "Holy, holy, holy Mary! Virgin Mother of God! "
[13] Saint Michel itself.
[14] Many .
[15] of religious orders.
[16] Even sense.
[17] Compared to Mary, all other creatures are so small!
[18] However, it impossible. So it is also impossible to fully understand Mary.
[19] Do not take this to the lettre.Saint Anselm, St. Bernard, St. Dominic, to name a few, have done very thoroughly and beautifully about Mary. But it still was not enough, and time of our blessed their doctrine was forgotten by many souls.
[20] Certainly a greater knowledge and greater love of Mary would increase the earthly splendor of the reign of Jesus.

MARY, MODEL OF LISTENING

Marie Model Home of the believer Parolepour

In the history of major characters emerge hello listeners and evangelists of the Word of God: Abraham, Moses, the prophets, Saints Peter and Paul, other apostles, evangelists. All, listening to the Word of God faithfully and releasing it, have prepared a space for the Kingdom of God.
In this perspective, a central role is played by the Virgin Mary, who lived in a unique meeting with the Word of God which is Jesus himself. For this reason it model is the angel of eavesdropping and announcement. Already formed the familiarity with the Word of God through the intense experience of the people of the Scriptures which it belongs, from the event and the Annunciation to the Cross - and even Whit - c It was in faith that Mary of Nazareth home, meditates on the Word of God, endorsed and lived intensely (cf. Lk 1:38; 2,19.51; Acts 17:11). With YES, initial and ongoing, the Word of God, she knows how to look around her and she saw the necessities of daily life, being aware that what she receives as a gift of the Son is a gift for all: in service to Elizabeth, at Cana and at the foot of the cross (cf. Lk 1:39, Jn 2.1 to 12; 19:25-27). Under this, the words Jesus spoke in his presence suited him: "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the Word of God and put into practice" (Lk 8:21). "Being deeply imbued with the Word of God, it can become the mother of the Word Incarnate" [ 1] .
In particular, we must consider how to listen to his Word. The text of the Gospel "about Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart "(Lk 2:19) means that she listened and knew the Scriptures, she pondered them in her heart with a kind of inner process of maturation, where the intellect does one with the heart. Mary sought the spiritual sense of Scripture and found it, by relating (symballousa) the words, the life of Jesus and the moments of discovery in her personal history. Mary is our model in both the reception of the faith and the Word, and the study thereof. It is not enough to host it, it stops there. Not only does it possess, but at the same time it gives its full value. It adheres well as she develops. Thus, Mary becomes a symbol for us, for the faith of simple people and for the doctors of the church who study, evaluate and define how to profess the Gospel.
In welcoming the Good News, Mary is revealed as the ideal type of obedience of faith, it becomes a living icon of the Church to serve the Word. Isaac de l'Etoile: "In Scripture, inspired by God, what is said in general for the Church virgin and mother, is applied individually to Mary, virgin and mother [...] The Church is the sole heir of the Lord, Mary is special, and every faithful soul in a special way. In the tabernacle of Mary's womb, Christ dwelt for nine months in the tabernacle of faith of the Church, he remained until the end of the world in knowledge and love of the faithful soul for eternity " [2] . Mary teaches us not to stay abroad and spectators before the Word of life, but to participate in realizing the "here I am" of the prophets (cf. Is 6:8), and we are led by the Holy Spirit who dwells us. She "magnifies" discovering the Lord in her life the mercy of God, who makes her "blessed" because she "believed in the fulfillment of what was spoken by the Lord" (Lk 1.45) . Ambrose says that every Christian believer conceives and begets the Word of God. If there is a single mother of Christ in the flesh, by faith, on the contrary, Christ is the fruit of all [3] .

The spirit of preaching and worship of the Virgin

The sacred synod teaches this Catholic doctrine and at the same time, urges every son of the Church generously to practice the cult, especially the liturgical cult, in respect of the Blessed Virgin, to be held in great esteem the practices and exercises of devotion that the character Marian magisterium of the Church recommends since centuries to religiously observe what in the past has been decided as to worship images of Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the saints. In addition, he urged strongly theologians and preachers to abstain carefully from any false exaltation, as also of any narrow-minded when they have to consider the special dignity of the Mother of God. For the study, conducted under the guidance of the Magisterium, the Holy Scripture, the Holy Fathers, the doctors and liturgy of the Church, they must adequately explain the role and privileges of the Blessed Virgin which is facing Christ, the source of all truth, sanctity and devotion. In their words or their actions, they must carefully avoid anything that could mislead the separated brethren or any other person, about the true doctrine of the Church. Let the faithful remember moreover that true devotion consists neither in sterile or transitory affection, nor in a certain vain credulity, but rather, it proceeds from true faith, which leads us to recognize the primacy Mother of God impels us to love our son to Mother and the imitation of her virtues.

THE CULT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN IN THE CHURCH

nature and basis of the cult of the saint Virgin

The Church rightly honors a special worship the one God's grace has made less than the Son of course, but above all the angels and all men, because of its role of Most Holy Mother of God, and his association with the mysteries of Christ. Already, since the earliest times, Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated under the title "Mother of God, and faithful in their prayers, took refuge under her protection in the midst of all dangers and difficulties they encounter. This is especially since the Council of Ephesus the cult of the people of God to Mary, the veneration and love, prayer and imitation, admiration, according to the prophecy of Mary herself: "All generations' m will call her blessed, because the Almighty has done great things for me "(The 1, 48-49). This cult, which still exists in the Church, although it is quite strange character, differs essentially the worship rendered to the Incarnate Word and the Father and the Holy Spirit and he strongly favors the latter. Indeed, thanks to various forms of Marian devotion that the Church has approved as appropriate time and place and in the character and disposition of the faithful, provided they tinssent within a sound and orthodox doctrine Through these forms of devotion, therefore, while the Mother is honored, the Son, for whom everything exists (cf. Col. 1, 15-16) and that "it has pleased the eternal Father" to any resident fullness "(Col. 1, 19), is rightly known, loved and glorified and obeyed.

The Annunciation

's announcement to Mary (Luke 1, 26-37)

Dear friends and brothers in Jesus Christ

I can not speak of the birth Jesus if I'm not talking about the announcement to Mary, who is listing the "red thread" of any Christic the frame, that is to say, the history of our salvation.
Indeed, Christ was not born a "magic wand", although his birth is surrounded by so many divine signs and miracles inexplicable.
Here is the text of the Gospel of Luke, where he explains how God chose to use a humble creature in order to fulfill our hello:

"In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God in a city of Galilee named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man of the house of David, named Joseph. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, Hail, thou to whom a pardon was made, the Lord is with thee. Troubled by these words, Mary wondered what it meant such a greeting. The angel said: Fear not Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. It will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and His kingdom will have no end. Mary asked the angel, How shall this be he, since I know not a man? The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow. So the holy child born will be called the Son of God. Here, Elizabeth, your relative, has designed, also a son in his old age, and one that was called barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God. " (Luke 1, 26-37)

Here we are informed as to time and place: It was the "six months" , "in a city of Galilee named Nazareth .
What happens then?
"The angel Gabriel was sent from God."
And who was he sent this great heavenly messenger?
"to a virgin betrothed to a man of the house of David, named Joseph" . Her name was Mary.
When you consult the Fathers of the Church, we realize very quickly that all or substantially commented on the Gospel of Luke, and it is very interesting to see how - specific to each - which they deal with these first lines.
St. Basil, in his "Commentary on Isaiah, we noted that the angels are not sent for" small jobs ", but for many important tasks, because " celestial spirits - he said - not just us of their own, God sends them when our utility required, because their occupation is to contemplate the splendor of divine wisdom. "
Saint Gregory the Great, for his part, said the angel sent to Mary, not anyone: "It is not any angel but the archangel Gabriel who is sent to the Virgin Mary. He belonged, in fact, that greatest of angels come to announce the biggest events. Scripture gives it a special and significant name, his name is Gabriel, meaning Strength of God. So that was the strength of God that was reserved to announce the birth of the God of hosts, the fort in the fighting that had triumph over the powers of the air. "
And if you had the idea to ask the question: why was such an important messenger he sent a humble virgin, here's what you could meet St. Jerome in his "Sermon on the Dormition"
"It is with reason that an angel is sent to a virgin because virginity has always been united by close ties with the angels. In fact, live in the flesh, without obeying the dictates of the flesh, this is not the life of the earth, that's life from heaven. "
But he is not the only one who can answer your question, to explain to you why such a great honor to Mary expired. Listen to Augustine, the great Bishop of Hippo:
"Virginity alone was worthy to bear him in his birth, could be equal. Our leader, a brilliant miracle, was born of a virgin in the flesh, and given and the Virgin Church would give its members a completely spiritual birth "(On the Blessed Virgin, chap. 15).
I understand that you can smile at the notion of virginity that emerges from these texts, especially when it is said that the virgin in question "was engaged to a man of the house of David, named Joseph."
Indeed, in our time, no one home, unfortunately, no importance, I would say that virginity is ridiculed by most men and women of our time ... Who would believe, nowadays, that two can remain engaged in their chaste love virgins in their daily lives? And yet, believe me, that no gift is more beautiful for two lovers who marry than to offer one to another, the day of their wedding, their mutual virginity!
... It is far my friends, the time when people thought that "this noble ideal of virginity, valuable to all those which are beautiful in the purity falls to only those that grace benevolent God help in the struggle to realize their good desire " (Gregory of Nyssa: From virginity chap. 1). Indeed, our time is "infested" by the "smoke of Satan" and all indications are that things will go from bad to worse, because I think we came to this unlucky period for which Christ and for which he asked: "Upon my return, I find faith on earth? "
But back to Gabriel and his" Hail Mary ". What he said, the great messenger?
It begins with a polite all divine, all friendly:
"Hail, thou to whom a pardon was made, the Lord is with thee" . Other translations say "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee."
Anyway, we both remember this beautiful prayer that we recite every day, several times - I am sure you recite the rosary - in the day, making it filial homage to one who, in addition to be the Mother of Jesus is also our Mother.
It would not be surprising that in saying this the angel Gabriel was bowed to the girl that original sin, except by grace, had not soiled. This announcement Marie
disorder, because even though she knew - she was brought to the Temple and thus knew the Scriptures - that the Messiah was born, she thought certainly not for a moment that the honor that motherhood would fail him.
But the angel reassures "Do not be afraid, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. "
He could still say, as we explained St. Augustine "It is with you is it with me, for he himself is in your heart, it is there in your body, it fills your soul, it fills your womb ". But perhaps Mary would not understand ...
must admit that it was entitled to such a surprising announcement, she was a virgin and had probably remain so.
His reaction will be quite natural and consistent with her education, she astonished questions: "How can this be he, since I know not a man? ". In other words: How Will it be possible because I am a virgin and intend to remain?
soon the Angel Gabriel reassures her, explains how this will happen:
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow. "
So the fact that the Holy Spirit come upon her and that God's power overshadows the fact generate in the womb of the Virgin Being who is above all being. "Therefore, says the Angel, the holy child born will be called the Son of God." This divine power
not eliminate, the state "physics" of Mary, quite the contrary, students at Heavenly, makes more than the Angels themselves.
It is good to remember here that the "the virgin was betrothed to a man of the house of David, named Joseph" and recall another fact that seems important and that St. Ambrose of Milan, in his commentary to Luke's Gospel, implies: the words of the angel and the responses of Mary, about virginity:
"The virginity of Mary - says the holy Bishop of Milan - should deceive the prince of this world, who, seeing her united to a husband, has been wary of his birth. "
For the prince of this world was wrong, he had the words, both those of the Angel Gabriel to Mary that those remaining in the field of interior phrase - a kind of telepathy, extrapolating a bit - because the devil is not permitted by God to play in human thought. He can make suggestions, and he does not deny, but he can not, under any circumstances, read the mind of man. For if he had heard the salutation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, he would have had no doubts about the origins of Jesus, he would not say later, when the temptation in the desert: "If thou art the Son, throw yourself down " (Mt 4, 6). The "if" used here suggests that demonstrates or even Satan did not know at this time - at least at the beginning of temptation - that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God.
This interpretation seems to corroborate that of the holy Doctor of the Church, because he wrote shortly after: "This phrase does not give us reason to believe that the word is served rather than heard. This is not an articulate speech ", therefore, it is probably a phrase inside, as I said above, who took away any possibility to Satan intervention and persecution against Mary and the Child she would now be in it.
But, back to the text of St. Luke. The angel said unto Mary: "Behold, Elizabeth, your relative has also conceived a son in his old age, and one that was called barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God. "
The angel tells him that "his cousin Elizabeth conceived a son in his old age" ended his message with a sentence clear, but we often forget: "For nothing is impossible with God."
I invite my friends, to meditate on these words alone explain so many things that we see but our Cartesian mind and obtuse often refuses to believe.
May peace and love of Jesus Christ inhabit your hearts and your souls. Amen.

MARIA E VATICAN II - VII

The virtues of Mary, a model for the Church

While the Church has already reached in the most Blessed Virgin the perfection whereby she is without spot or wrinkle (cf. Eph. 5, 27), the faithful still strive to grow in holiness by conquering sin. And so they eyes to Mary who shines as a model of virtue for the whole community of the elect. The church, thinking it piously and contemplating in the light of the Word made man, enters more full of respect, in the depths of the mystery of the Incarnation, and conforms more and more like her Spouse. Mary, indeed, who, by his close involvement in the history of salvation, and it unites as it reflects the highest data of faith leads the believers, when it is the object of preaching and worship, to regard his son, his sacrifice offered, and also the love of the Father. As for the Church Seeking after the glory of Christ, it becomes more similar to the high model: it continually progresses in faith, hope and charity, seeking and following in all things God's will.

In addition, the Blessed Virgin is intimately linked to the Church by the gift and burden of the divine maternity of united with her Son, the Redeemer, as well as by the singular graces and functions vested in it. The Mother of God is the figure of the Church, as St. Ambrose taught, and that in the order of faith, love and unity perfect with Christ.

For, in faith and obedience she gave birth on earth the very Son of God, not carnal, but under the action of the Holy Spirit; new Eve, she thought, not in the old serpent, but the messenger of God, a faith no doubt was unaltered. She gave birth to the Son that God established the firstborn of many brothers (Rom. 8, 29), that is to say the faithful. Also she cooperates in her mother's love, in the lead and educate.

The Blessed Virgin Mary after the Ascension

As it had pleased God not to manifest solemnly the mystery of the salvation of humanity before he sent the Spirit, Christ had promised, we see the Apostles before the day of Pentecost "persevering with one heart in prayer, with the women, Mary Mother of Jesus and the brethren thereof" (Acts 1, 14), and we also see Mary by her prayers imploring the gift of the Spirit, the Spirit who had covered itself with its shadow at the Annunciation. Finally, the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from every stain of original sin at the end of his earthly life, was elevated to the glory of heaven in his soul and his body and was exalted by the Lord as Queen over to to resemble more perfectly to His Son, the Lord of lords (cf. Rev. 19, 16) and conqueror of sin and death.

The Virgin and Child Jesus

This union of the Mother and Son in the work of salvation is manifest from the time of the virginal conception of Christ until his death. It is first when Mary, who is in haste to Elizabeth, was proclaimed blessed by it because of his faith in the promise of salvation and the precursor rejoices in the womb (cf. Lk I, 41-45).
This union occurs then the Nativity, where the Mother of God joyfully showed the shepherds and Magi her firstborn Son, he who has not injured her virginity, but sanctified. When she introduced him to the Lord in the temple once the offering of the poor, she heard Simeon announce both that the Son would be a sign of contradiction and that a sword would pierce the soul of the mother, so that may be revealed thoughts of many hearts (cf. Lk 2, 34-35). After losing the baby Jesus and have searched anxiously, his parents found him in the temple, to the things of his Father, and they did not understand the words of the Son. His mother meditated and kept all these things in her heart (Lk 2, 41-51).

The Blessed Virgin and Jesus' public ministry

In the public life of Jesus, his mother made appearances that are meaningful. From the beginning, when the wedding at Cana in Galilee, moved with compassion, she brought about by her intercession the beginning of the miracles of Jesus the Messiah (cf. Jn. 2, 1-11). During the preaching of Jesus, she heard the words which his son, placing the kingdom beyond reports and bonds of flesh and blood, proclaimed blessed those who hear and keep the word of God (cf. Mk 3, 35 Lk 11, 27-28), as it did with fidelity (cf. Lk 2, 19 and 51). Thus even the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and it remained closely united with her Son unto the cross. Here, it is not without divine plan she stood (cf. Jn 19, 25), she suffered deeply with her only son and joined with all her maternal heart to his sacrifice, lovingly consenting the immolation of the victim that she had caused. Finally, the same Christ Jesus dying on the cross, the mother gave to the disciple, saying: "Woman, behold your son" (cf. Jn 19, 26-27). (Vatican II: Lumen Gentium, 57-58).

ROLE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN IN THE ECONOMY THE SALVATION

The Mother of the Messiah in the Old Testament

The Sacred Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, and the venerable tradition, show with increasing clarity The role of the Mother of the Saviour in the economy of salvation and we are, so to speak, under the eyes. The books of the Old Testament describe the history of salvation, which slowly prepared the coming of Christ in the world. These earliest documents, according to the intelligence that has the Church in light of the full revelation follow, are little a little clearer light the figure of a woman, Mother of the Redeemer. She guessed that already prophetically presented sounds that light in the promise that was given to our first parents fell into sin, victory over the serpent (cf. Gen. 3, 15). Similarly, she is the Virgin who shall conceive and bear a son, whose name will be Emmanuel (cf. Is 7, 14, cf. Mich. 5, 2-3; Mt 1, 22-23). It is at the forefront of these poor and humble of the Lord who await salvation with confidence, and receive him hello. And finally, with her exalted Daughter of Sion, after the long wait for the promise, the times are fulfilled and a new economy is created where the Son of God takes it human nature to free man from sin by the mysteries of his flesh.

Mary at the Annunciation

Father of mercies willed that the acceptance of the predestined mother precede the Incarnation, he wanted a woman had also contributed to the death, even a woman should give to life. And this is an extraordinary way for the Mother of Jesus, who gave the world the very Life that renews all things, and it has been enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a high office. It is not surprising that the Holy Fathers commonly called the Mother of God the All Holy, the one that is free from every stain of sin, which is shaped and formed as a new creature by the Holy Spirit. Decorated in the first instant of her conception of the splendor of holiness quite strange, the Virgin of Nazareth is on the order of God, hailed by the Angel of the Annunciation as "full of grace" (cf. Lk 1, 28), and the heavenly messenger she replies: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word" (Lk 1, 38). Thus Mary, daughter of Adam, consenting to the word of God is became the Mother of Jesus and embracing the heart, without being impeded by no sin, God's saving will, she devoted herself totally as a handmaid of the Lord to the person and work of her Son, all in the service of mystery dependence of redemption of his Son and in union with him, by the grace of God Almighty. It is therefore right that the Fathers believe that Mary was not a purely passive instrument in God's hands, but as freely cooperating in the salvation of man in the freedom of faith and obedience. In fact, as St. Irenaeus, "in obedience, she became the cause of salvation for itself and for all mankind. "And, with Irenaeus, many early Fathers gladly assert in their preaching, that" the knot of Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience; that the virgin Eve bound through her unbelief, faith of the Virgin Mary loosened "and by comparison with Eve, they call Mary" Mother of the living "and frequently claim:" death came by way of Eve, life by that of Mary. " (Vatican II: Lumen Gentium, 55-56)

Council's Intention
