  • The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments
    The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments R O B E R T F ASTIGGI , P H .D. Professor of Systematic Theology , Sacred Heart Major Seminary Introduction The role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation is rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation. God chose to unite creation to himself by becom- ing incarnate ex Maria virgine.1 The eternal plan for the created cosmos, therefore, includes the Blessed Mother. The role of Mary in the economy of salvation is, therefore, not something marginal but central. In fact, the Blessed Virgin Mary is part of God’s plan from all eternity. The theology of Marian co-redemption un- folds in seven key moments: 1) Mary’s predestination as the Co-redemptrix; 2) Mary’s Immaculate Conception; 3) Mary’s free consent to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate at the Annunciation; 4) Mary’s union with her Son “in the work of salvation” from “the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to His death”;2 5) Mary’s union with Christ’s passion and her offering of her crucified Son to the Fa- ther; 6) Mary’s glorious assumption body and soul into heaven; 7) Mary’s ongoing maternal mediation of the grace with and under Christ, the one Mediator. Each of these moments deserves individual attention, but all of them combine to illuminate Mary’s essential role in the work of redemption. 1. Mary’s predestination as Mother of the Redeemer and Co- redemptrix Mary was predestined to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word.

  • The Perfect Consecration to Jesus Christ Through Mary According to the Teachings of St
    The Perfect Consecration to Jesus Christ through Mary According to the Teachings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort By Fr. Thomas Steinke The Importance of Making the Consecration to Jesus through Mary I am basing my conference today on the book "True Devotion to Mary" which is universally acclaimed as the single greatest and most theologically authoritative book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever to have been written. In it De Montfort says that “the formation and education of the great saints who will come at the end of the world are reserved to her, for only this singular and wondrous virgin can produce in union with the Holy Spirit singular and wondrous things.”1 Literally, you could be one of those great saints and will be one of those great saints if you live out this consecration. After today’s talk, you should have a very good idea of how to live out this consecration and thus become a great saint. Papal Support I want to begin by talking about the importance of making the consecration to Mary according to the method of St. Louis Marie de Montfort. Since as Catholics we believe the Holy Spirit guides the Church in its papal documents, I want to establish papal support for this devotion. Pope Leo XIII encouraged everyone to make acts of consecration to the Virgin Mary based on the method of Saint Louis de Montfort. He also beatified de Montfort in 1888, adopted de Montfort's Marian terminology (calling Mary the "Mediatrix" and "Co-Redemptrix"), and wrote no less than ten encyclicals on the Rosary.

He was known in his time as a preacher and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI. Louis de Montfort 2 As well as preaching, Montfort found time to write a number of books which went on to become classic Catholic titles and influenced several popes. Montfort is known for his particular devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the practice of praying the Rosary. Montfort is considered as one of the early writers in the field of Mariology. His most notable works regarding Marian devotions are contained in The Secret of Mary and the True Devotion to Mary. The Roman Catholic Church, under the pontificate of Pope Pius XII canonized Montfort on July 20, 1947. A "founders statue" created by Giacomo Parisini is located in an upper niche of the south nave of Saint Peter's Basilica. Early years He was born in Montfort-sur-Meu, the eldest surviving child of eighteen born to Jean-Baptiste and Jeanne Robert Grignion. His father was a notary. Louis-Marie passed most of his infancy and early childhood in Iffendic, a few kilometers from Montfort, where his father had bought a farm.

  • Theological Reflections on Marian Coredemption and the Work of the International Marian Association
    Theological Reflections on Marian Coredemption and the Work of the International Marian Association By Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D. Professor of Systematic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan USA. Introduction: Mary’s role in salvation history: her joint predestination with Christ. In his Jan. 1 2015 homily for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, Pope Francis taught: The Blessed Virgin is the woman of faith who made room for God in her heart and in her plans; she is the believer capable of perceiving in the gift of her Son the coming of that “fullness of time” (Gal 4:4) in which God, by choosing the humble path of human existence, entered personally into the history of salvation. That is why Jesus cannot be understood without his Mother. In a homily given April 24, 1970 at the Marian shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria in Cagliari, Sardinia, Pope Paul VI remarked. “If we want to be Christian, we must also be Marian; that is we must recognize the essential, vital, providential bond which unites Our Lady with Jesus and which opens to us the way that leads us to him.” (AAS 62 ([970] 300-301]. In discussing the Catholic dogmas about Mary, we must always keep in mind this “providential bond” which links our Lord, Jesus, to his Mother. St. Paul, in Gal 4:4 writes that, “when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of woman, born under the law” (NAB). This means that a woman named Mary, the Mother of the Incarnate Word of God, is at the very center of salvation history.

  • Catholic Doctrine and Teaching Regarding Mary
    Catholic Doctrine and Teaching Regarding Mary Mariology is the study of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and of her role in Salvation History. Mary is viewed by Catholics as having a unique dignity among saints. Due to her maternal relationship to Christ and to the fact that she was conceived without original sin, Catholics believe Mary is entitled to Hyperdulia, that is an extraordinary level of veneration, as opposed to Dulia, a Greek term for the honor given to other saints. The field of Mariology includes dogmatic and theological studies of Mary, and also the study of the veneration of Mary in popular piety, including prayer, art, liturgy, hymns, shrines, and other devotions. The tradition of devotions associated with Catholic devotion to Mary are so extensive they require many more pages to expound. This page covers only the following topics as they relate to the Blessed Virgin Mary: 1) Dogmatic and Doctrinal teachings 2) Teachings and Writings of Saints 3) Pronouncements of Popes and Councils Dogmatic Teachings Concerning Mary There are four Marian teachings that have defined as De Fide Definita doctrines, or solemnly pronounced dogmas of the Faith. The Catholic Church teaches many truths about Mary, derived from the scriptures and traditions of the early Church, but only these four doctrines are considered dogmatic teaching. Dogma Magisterial Teaching / Authority Mary is Mother of Jesus who is truly God and Man in one person. — Mother of God Council of Ephesus (431) At the end of her earthly life, Mary was assumed into heavenly glory. — Assumption into Heaven Pope Pius XII (1950) Mary was preserved immaculate from Original Sin at her conception.

  • Perpetual Virginity: INPARTU
    Looking at the Mary Nativity: SOURCES • Sacred Scripture • Fathers • Tradition of the ages • Doctors • Apocrypha • Mystics Mary’s Family The Messiah would be of the House of David: 2 Samuel 7: 12-14: “When your [David’s] days are fulfilled…I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. …and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son.” Of the House of David Joseph is clearly from the House of David: Mt. 1:1ff: ” The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac…And Jesse begot David the king…And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Of the House of David Joseph is Jesus’ legal father: Mt. 1…25: “...[Joseph]…embraced Mary as his wife. ….she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus. But the prophecy seems to imply physical descent: 2 Samuel 7: 12: “I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body… Of the House of David Mary would seem to be of the House of David: • Jewish custom to marry within clan • Ambrose: Luke’s genealogy is Mary’s: • Luke 3:23 Jesus…being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli… • “Begat” vs. “son of” • Son in law = son • Fathers who address it are almost unanimous that Mary is of the House of David.

  • On the Fittingness of the Title Mediatrix of All Graces As Applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary
    On the Fittingness of the Title Mediatrix of All Graces as applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary M E L I S S A E ITENMILLER Dominican House of Studie s I. Introduction Most Protestants and even some Catholics balk at the idea of Mary and the saints interceding for us here on earth, often citing the Scriptural text which de- clares, “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5).1 How much more chagrin and shock they must feel, then, should they hear the popular title, “Mediatrix,” applied to Mary, as is the case in popular devotion and in various ecclesial documents. In this essay, I propose to show that the title, “Mediatrix of All Graces,” is fit- tingly applied to the Blessed Virgin due to her participation in Christ’s mediation, which, in her case, is a participation beyond that of any other creature, on account of her divine maternity, her special role in our redemption as the Coredemptrix and New Eve, and her spiritual motherhood of all mankind. To demonstrate this, I will first discuss what is meant by “mediator” in gen- eral, and then, in particular, when referred to Christ in 1 Timothy 2:5, as cited above. I will also show how all Christians, and in a special way, the Most Blessed Virgin, are called to participate in Christ’s mediation. Next I will review the title of “Mediatrix” as used of the Blessed Virgin both by some of the early Church fathers and other saints, as well as in ecclesial documents up to the present date.

  • Mary Our Mother Pastoral
    MARY OUR MOTHER PASTORAL LETTER 2018 “Da Maria numquam satis” (On Mary, no one can ever say enough) St. Bernard of Clairvaux. INTRODUCTION JOYFUL THANKS: 1. We thank God Our Loving Father for His merciful love evident in many aspects of our pastoral life, to Him be all glory, honor and praise forever and ever. Amen. My beloved people of God, it is with utmost gratitude that we are once again inviting you to my reflection of the year 2018: Mary, our Mother. We are grateful for the warm reception of my reflections of 2016, Blessed are the Merciful and 2017, Blessed are the Peacemakers and indeed all my past pastoral letters. We continue to pray that the contents of our pastoral letters be of some help in our journey through time to eternity in God's blessed Kingdom. That indeed is the shared aim of our Christian life which we pursue as a community of believers in the Lord, and in which we do all in our power to help one another in our journey towards that kingdom the door of which has been opened by Christ's redemptive work. 2. Our gratitude extends without doubt to all who co-operated in furthering the work of evangelization in the Archdiocese of Onitsha this past year. Such cooperation is owed to your readiness to mediate God's grace in our lives both in their secular and spiritual dimensions. I therefore thank all of you: my brother in the Episcopate, all the priests and religious, as well as the lay faithful of our diocese for your incalculable contributions to the work of evangelization and I pray that our Lord will reward you as abundantly as only He can do.

JUNIPER B. CAROL, O.F.M. (1911-1990) Name: Kozack, Jessica Catherine University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This study analyzes the work of the American Mariologist Fr. Juniper B. Carol O.F.M. (1911-1990) in light of his historical and theological context. Carol’s work focused primarily on the Coredemption, which he studied before Vatican II, and the primacy of Christ, which he studied after the Council. Carol’s work significantly influenced international Mariology and provides an example of how one Mariologist responded to the theological developments that occurred after Vatican II. Carol’s work demonstrates the influence of his Franciscan heritage, in both his pre- Conciliar discussion of Mary’s mediation and Coredemption and his post-Conciliar discussion of the debitum peccati, the preservative redemption, and the predestination and primacy of Christ.
