By Isabella H. de Carvalho<\/b><\/p>\n

On the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13, Pope Leo XIV highlighted how the Blessed Virgin Mary is a model, member and mother of the ecclesial community and she teaches all the faithful to love and serve the Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mystery of the Church is also reflected in the Virgin Mary: in Her, the people of God find the representation of their origin, their model and their homeland,\u201d he said in his catechesis during the Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter\u2019s Square.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Mother of the Lord, the Church contemplates her own mystery, not only because she finds in Her the model of virginal faith, maternal charity and the spousal covenant to which she is called, but also and above all because in Her she recognizes her own archetype, the ideal figure of what she is called to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV continued his catechesis series on the Documents of the Second Vatican Council, reflecting again on the 1964 Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen gentium<\/i><\/a>, whose last chapter focuses on the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

Do I ask Mary for help?<\/h2>\n

In emphasizing how Our Lady can be a model for the Church, the Pope called the faithful to \u201cask Her to help us, through Her intercession, to respond to what is asked of us through Her example.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this regard he asked a series of questions to help us reflect:<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I live my participation of the Church with humble and active faith? Do I recognize in her the community of the covenant that God has given me to respond to His infinite love? Do I feel that I am a living part of the Church, in obedience to the pastors given by God? Do I look to Mary as a model, an outstanding member and Mother of the Church, and ask Her to help me be a faithful disciple of her Son?\u201d<\/p>\n

Model, member and mother of the Church<\/h2>\n

Citing Lumen gentium<\/i>, the Pope pointed out how it invites us to recognize in Mary \u201cthe model and the pre-eminent member and mother of the entire ecclesial community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaped by God\u2019s grace and by welcoming Jesus through her faith and \u201cvirginal love,\u201d Mary is the \u201cperfect model of what the Church is called to be: a creature of the Word of the Lord and mother of the children of God, begotten in docility to the action of the Holy Spirit,\u201d the Pope explained.<\/p>\n

He also emphasized how she is \u201can excellent member of the ecclesial community\u201d as she is the \u201cbeliever par excellence<\/i>\u201d and was unconditionally open to the divine mystery.<\/p>\n

Then the Pope highlighted that she is \u201cthe mother of the whole Church\u201d as she \u201c brings forth children\u201d in Christ and all the faithful can \u201cturn to her with filial confidence, in the certainty of being heard, protected and loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

A woman icon of the Mystery<\/h2>\n

The Pope then explained how these three characteristics can be summarized by defining the Virgin Mary as \u201ca woman who is the icon of the Mystery.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He underlined how the word \u201cwoman highlights the historical reality of this young daughter of Israel,\u201d to whom it was granted to become the mother of Jesus.<\/p>\n

Then the word icon shows how \u201cin Her, both God\u2019s gratuitous election and Her free consent of faith in Him shine forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMary is therefore the woman who is the icon of the Mystery, that is, of the divine plan of salvation, once hidden and now revealed in its fullness in Jesus Christ,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

May the love for the Church grow in all of us<\/h2>\n

The Pope also noted that the \u201cCouncil has left us clear teaching on the unique place reserved to the Virgin Mary in the work of Redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201csole mediator of salvation is Jesus Christ\u201d and his mother \u201cfosters the immediate union of the faithful\u201d with Him, Pope Leo explained, citing Lumen gentium<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Lastly the Pope invoked the Holy Spirit so that it may grant to all the grace to live fully in the Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving reflected deeply on the Constitution Lumen gentium<\/i>, let us ask the Virgin to obtain this gift for us: that love for the Holy Mother Church may grow in all of us,\u201d he concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
