초록
Mary emerged as one of the most contested topic in the Second Vatican Council. Convened during a period of intense surge in Marian piety in the Catholic Church, the Council sought to strike the balance between the tendency to be excessive and exaggerated in Marian theology and religiosity on the one hand, and on the other hand, to be reticent and dismissive of Mary’s significant role in her Son’s redemptive work. This paper revisits the Council’s key teachings on Mary, in view of coming to a deeper appreciation of the title it gave to Mary: as the icon of hope for the pilgrim church. As this pilgrim church journeys at this point under the leadership of Pope Francis and his vision of the church as ‘church of mercy’, this paper seeks to understand Mary’s role as icon of hope in the light of Pope Francis’ gospel of mercy. Hailed by Pope Francis as the Mother of mercy, Mary inspires hope among her children as she mirrors the perfect combination of faith and joy: the fruitfulness of faith leads to joy; the joy of faith leads to even more fruitfulness. For Pope Francis, Mary sums up in herself the essence of the church as a missionary church: a church of mercy and joy. Like Mary, the church is a mother whose arms are open to and whose heart of mercy beats for love of the poor. Thus is Mary is the icon of the Church’s hope on its pilgrim way.
Abstract
Mary emerged as one of the most contested topic in the Second Vatican Council. Convened during a period of intense surge in Marian piety in the Catholic Church, the Council sought to strike the balance between the tendency to be excessive and exaggerated in Marian theology and religiosity on the one hand, and on the other hand, to be reticent and dismissive of Mary’s significant role in her Son’s redemptive work. This paper revisits the Council’s key teachings on Mary, in view of coming to a deeper appreciation of the title it gave to Mary: as the icon of hope for the pilgrim church. As this pilgrim church journeys at this point under the leadership of Pope Francis and his vision of the church as ‘church of mercy’, this paper seeks to understand Mary’s role as icon of hope in the light of Pope Francis’ gospel of mercy. Hailed by Pope Francis as the Mother of mercy, Mary inspires hope among her children as she mirrors the perfect combination of faith and joy: the fruitfulness of faith leads to joy; the joy of faith leads to even more fruitfulness. For Pope Francis, Mary sums up in herself the essence of the church as a missionary church: a church of mercy and joy. Like Mary, the church is a mother whose arms are open to and whose heart of mercy beats for love of the poor. Thus is Mary is the icon of the Church’s hope on its pilgrim way.
