Duch Święty a Maryja w badaniach Katedry Mariologii KUL

Abstract

In the researches on the subject concerning relation Mary-Holy Spirit, conducted by the Chair of Mariology of the Catholic University of Lublin, the main efforts were posed on deepening and propagating the official teaching of the Church, and especially the teaching in His basic documents: Lumen Gentium, Marialis cultus, Redemptoris Mater. In the light of this teaching there were discovered the following themes: Mary and the Word of God (Mary listening to the Word of God, the living Gospel of Christ), Mary and the Church, Mary in the Christian worship, Mary in the people’s piety (pneumatological principles of the renovation of the marian cult). Beside the Church Documents there were analyzed also the writings of selected authors: Bernard from Clairvaux, Luis Maria Grignon de Monfort, Maximilian Kolbe, Heribert Mühlen, Walter Kasper, Yves Congar. According to the suggestions o f the Second Vatican Council, the analyses concerned the rich biblical and patristic sources of these works and were placed in the context o f other Church Documents. The sources were especially discovered and analyzed in the monograph lectures on the Church Fathers Mariology. From many others it is necessary to mention the theme: Mary in the ecumenical dialog. This problem is in the process of maturating among the common reflection o f Christian Churches. The above mentioned researches brought fruits in the form o f important Symposiums and Conferences organized by the Chair of Mariology KUL, or at which participated the scholars from KUL. We have to mention also the long list of publications, papers and doctoral dissertations on the subject concerning the relation „Mary-Holy Spirit”.
