Friends of the Rosary,
Yesterday, we celebrated Mary’s birthday. The Blessed Virgin assists us from heaven with her prayers and motherly care to bring us to God. It’s Mary’s maternal mediation.
Christ Jesus is the mediator who, after the Fall, stands between God and fallen humanity to bring us back into communion with God.
But the Son of God doesn’t keep his role as mediator to himself. He wants Mary to share in his mediation. According to Vatican II in Lumen Gentium, Mary’s uniquely important role is captured by “maternal mediation.”
“The Blessed Virgin was on this earth the virgin Mother of the Redeemer, and above all others and in a singular way the generous associate and humble handmaid of the Lord. She conceived, brought forth, and nourished Christ.”
“In this singular way, she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the work of our Savior in giving back supernatural life to souls.”
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
