Meinardus: Mediatrix between Christians and Muslims THE VIRGIN MARY AS MEDIATRIX BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST Otto E A. Meinardus, Ph.D.* In spite of deep-seated christological and soteriological dif­ ferences between Orthodox Christianity and Islam, there are some areas in which Christian and Muslim prayer converge which could be the basis of dialogue. In the popular piety of the Egyptians, the Virgin Mary, mother ofJesus, can play the role of mediatrix between Muslims and Christians. The subject is di­ verse and voluminous, so I will limit myself to a few aspects of the theme.Because of my long stay in the Middle East, especially in Egypt, I can describe some of the ways in which a devotion to the Virgin Mary brings together Christians and Muslims. The profound and deep esteem of the Orthodox Christians in the East for the Virgin Mary is well known.Their devotion to her as the Theotokos constitutes an integral part of their litur­ gical life and popular piety.

SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world.
