Madonna: Mary in the Catholic TraditionOutlines a contemporary composite portrait, a Madonna for today's Catholics that the teaching Church assures is a faithful likeness of what has been handed down by Catholic tradition from the inspired Word of God. From Holy Scripture, Biblical madonnas limned by Old Testament prophecy and by evangelists of the New Testament, especially Luke and John. From the early Church, patristic portraits by the great Fathers, and their synthesis in the work of the "Common Doctor", St. Thomas Aquinas. The Madonna of devotion, from formal public liturgy and private devotions, particularly the Rosary, in relation to the Eucharist, and the role of her earthly spouse, St. Joseph. Finally, her ecumenical aspect, a Madonna to be welcomed by all who believe in Jesus Christ. |
