Mariologists, when contemplating Mary in the mystery of salvation, recognize a tight knit branch of relationships, and so many links they are obliged to display her as a woman open to reciprocity, as an expert in encounters, as a model of communion. It has been written accurately that \u201cMary is the woman of harmony who brings together in herself the sacred symbol of the universal relationships and integration of everything created in the mystery of the cosmic beauty which transcends all created things\u2026\u201d (R. Tomicha)
\nIn the text that we are now commenting on, there emerges in the Claretian intuition the two relationships that caused the greatest conciliar controversies: Mary\u00b4s relationship to Christ compared to her relationship with the Church. The dispute was fruitful and gave as a result Chapter 8 of the Constitution \u201cLumen Gentium\u201d, synthesis of the two tendencies: \u201cBy reason of the gift and role of divine maternity, by which she is united with her Son, the Redeemer, and with His singular graces and functions, the Blessed Virgin is also intimately united with the Church\u201d (LG 63).
\nThe Encyclical of Blessed John Paul II \u201cRedemptoris Mater\u201d makes even more explicit these perspectives. Let us limit ourselves to the text referring to faith: \u201cThe Mother of that Son, bears within herself the radical \u201cnewness“ of faith: the beginning of the New Covenant. it is not difficult to see in that beginning a particular heaviness of heart, linked with a sort of \u2018night of faith\u2019-to use the words of St. John of the Cross-a kind of \u201cveil\u201d through which one has to draw near to the Invisible One and to live in intimacy with the mystery\u201d (RM 17b).
\nFor some reason Claret also called her his \u201cGodmother\u201d. She is a teacher of the faith. I don\u2019t know of any saint who has called her: \u201cMy Godmother\u201d, who educated me in the faith, because she knows better than anyone the path of this pilgrimage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
