Pope St. John Paul II's Mariology Pope St. John Paul II’s MariologyRegan Institute 2019 Presented by James J. Bitting Jr., M.A. Saints show us that the Christian faith is not a mere philosophy or ideology, but rather a blessed life to be lived. Through his example and teaching, St. John Paul II directs our attention to the most perfect model of human life united to Jesus Christ, namely the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. John Paul II entrusted his papacy to the Blessed Virgin Mary, taking for his motto the Latin phrase Totus Tuus, meaning Totally Yours. Inspired by the writings of another saint, St. Louis de Montfort, St. John Paul II grew in his relationship with the Holy Mother of God. Prompted by this precedent of saints forming saints, in this course we will invite St. John Paul II to form us with his teaching on Mary. We will look to Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and John Paul II’s encyclical Redemptoris Mater, as our points of reference. Through study of Redemptoris Mater and the Catechism, participants will come to a better appreciation of Mary’s obedience of faith, her role as model of all disciples of Christ, and the great gift the Church possesses in Mary’s mediation. • Be like Mary and draw all the attentionRegan to 2019 what - Class God Schedule has done for you.

  • Printable Overview of Totus Tuus
    TOTUS TUUS CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF WICHITA, KANSAS Parish Catechetical Program Overview of Totus Tuus Totus Tuus - “Totally Yours” Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic Faith through evangelization, catechesis, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Our week-long Parish Summer Catechetical Program assists parents and parishes in the evangelizing and catechizing of their youth by supplementing the work they are already doing. The methodology, structure, content, and enthusiasm of Totus Tuus is concerned not only with teaching the Faith, but also igniting the hearts of the team members and the young people they encounter. The result has been the formation of young adults who continue to dedicate themselves to the Church’s mission of evangelization. Our Mission The mission of Totus Tuus is to inspire in young people a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for daily conversion and an openness to their vocation by the constant challenge to give themselves entirely to Christ through Mary and by continually strengthening their prayer lives in imitation of Her. Our Motivation Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning“ Totally Yours,” was the motto of Blessed John Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary. It also expresses our effort to give our all to every young person we encounter. Through the teams’ example of joy and service, the youth see that these men and women are on fire with the Catholic Faith and long for the same thing in their lives.

The goal of Totus Tuus is to help young people develop their relationship with Jesus Christ creating an intimate friendship through which He may lead them to the Father. To accomplish this, we emphasize devotion and love for our Lord in the Eucharist and for Mary our Mother. We strive to help young people understand their faith through catechesis in order to live it in today's world and by making it fun for the youth and missionaries alike. A Totus Tuus missionary helps to make the faith real to the youth as a way of life and love and not simply a set of rules and obligations. Totus Tuus calls upon college students and seminarians from the Diocese of Winona-Rochester and across the United States to carry out the mission. Those hired are trained and put onto teams of four (two men and two women) to go forth to lead youth to Jesus. In addition to trying to communicate our faith and translate that into daily life, we also strive to foster Christian vocations. It is our firm belief that vocations, or callings from God, can only be heard and responded to if one is living a Christian life.

  • Historical Forms
    Back CHAPTER ONE Historical Forms While it seems indisputable that Pope Saint John Paul II gave enormous impetus to the promotion of consecration or entrustment to Mary from the outset of his pontificate to its conclusion, it is equally clear that this practice is very ancient in the Church. Further on in this study, we will consider the Scriptural bases for this practice so deeply rooted in the Church; but for the moment, let us look at some of its principal expressions in the life of the Church. The Patristic Period It does not seem presumptuous to see the first adumbrations of the tradition, which would come to be known as Marian consecration in the Church in the most ancient recorded prayer to the Mother of God, the Sub tuum præsidium.1 Up until the early last century, this prayer, which was known to exist in all of the liturgical families in the Church, was thought to be medieval. 1 Discovered in 1917, an Egyptian papyrus now kept in the John Rylands Library in Manchester, England contains the text of this Marian prayer, which makes it the oldest invocation of the Mother of God which has thus far been found. Cf. Gerard S. Sloyan, “Marian Prayers,” Mariology 3:64–68; I. Calabuig, O.S.M., “Liturgia,” NDM 778–779; Théodore Koehler, S.M., “Maternité Spirituelle, Maternité Mystique,” in Maria VI:571–574; Gabriele Giamberardini, O.F.M., Il culto mariano in Egitto, Vol. I: Secoli I-VI (Jerusalem: Franciscan Printing Press, 1975) 69–97; Achille M. Triacca, “Sub tuum præsidium: nella lex orandi un’anticipata presenza della lex credendi.
