Maryja jako reprezentantka ludzkości w tajemnicy Wcielenia według Jana Pawła II
Siwak, Wacław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2000)
John Paul II shows the mystery of Incarnation as an salvational event. Among numerous aspects of that salvational mystery, he shows Incarnation as the beginning of the New Covenant. The essence of the New Covenant, according to the Bishop of Rome, consists in assuming human nature by the Son of God in order to redeem man. Christ in the New Covenant, made through the incarnation of the Word, being a Divine Spouse marries humanity as a universal people of the New Covenant. The marriage of Christ with making becomes an indestructible Covenant, for God and man have been joined together forever in Jesus Christ. And Mary took an active part in making this Covenant come true. She said fiat on behalf of humanity. John Paul II takes this/mr in a threefold meaning: 1) as consent to Incarnation; 2) as an agreement to the new Covenant; 3) as Mary’s representation of all the people called to be ultimately joined with God. The Pope many times names Mary by the biblical title „the daughter of Zion’’ The theology of that title is clearly linked with Mary’s function as a representative of humanity, personifying by Herself the whole people of God.
