The Person and Idea of the Mother of God is an indispensable structure of Christianity in the course of the history of salvation. Above all, it recapitulates in itself the messianic and loveable yearning after God on the part of mankind. It is always in opposition to that “satanic trinity” from the Revelation (12:17): Satan – the destroyer of creation, the Beast of unbelief and atheism, and the Beast of a false self-deification of man. The Mother of God appears more and more clearly to be a model for the solution of the “question of man”.
