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] .
