SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Memorial of BVM
DESCRIPTION:MARY\, THE MOTHER OF THE LORD \nBy Fr Karl Rahner7 \n◊◊◊ \nAll that the faith says about the realization of redemption\, about salvation \nand grace and the fullness of grace\, is realized in Mary. This human person \nwhom we call Mary is as it were the very point in the whole history of our \nredemption at which the saving grace of the living God descends from him into \nthis history\, and from which it is diffused over the whole of humankind. For her \nSon\, whom she accepted in the strength of her heart\, whom she conceived in \nfaith and love\, is the Redeemer of the world. And since\, as Scripture testifies\, \nthe consent she gave in faith and obedience belongs not only to her private life- \nstory\, but to the public history of redemption\, it must correspond\, in harmony \nof person and function\, to the purpose for which it was given; in short it must \nbe perfect. \nIt follows too that Mary is one of us. We honor her\, praise her\, love and \nrevere her unique dignity. But if\, in view of the mystery of her son\, we ask\, where \ndoes Mary stand? We must reply\, she belongs entirely with us. She must receive \nGod’s mercy just as we must\, for she lives and typifies to perfection what we \nourselves are to be in Christ’s sight. We too are to become what she is. She comes \nbefore God with us – like us and as one of our company – in the innumerable \nhost of humanity. In our midst\, within the history of humankind as a whole\, as \na part of it\, she accomplishes her own life-story\, which takes on a unique \nimportance for our salvation\, and which\, once lived through with this \nsignificance\, endures eternally in God’s sight. \n  \nPrecisely because Mary\, in this position as intermediary\, is entirely one of \nus\, and only occupies that position because she belongs with us\, as a mere \ncreature\, to the one human family\, is she so near and dear to us. That is why we \nlove her. And have an almost too merely human trust in her. And feel her \nintercession\, protection and love to be so near and human\, although\, or rather \nbecause this dear and familiar humanity has been taken up\, unimpaired and \ntransfigured\, into the eternal life of God himself. \n  \n7 Mary\, the Mother of the Lord\, Herder & Herder NY 1963\, pp.38-40.15 \n  \n
