Mariologia kontekstualna Jana Pawła II Bóg Trójosobowy – Maryja – Kościół

Abstract

The theology of John Paul II, read and interpreted in the trinitarian context, brings new considerations and initiates a quest for new justfications, also in the field of ecclesiology and mariology. The Holy Father frequently expressed this; not only in his many addresses, but most of all in such encyclicals as Redemptoris hominis, Dives In misericordia, Dominum et vivificantem, and primarily in a closely related Mariological encyclical Redemptoris Mater. It is devoted not only to the historical Mother of Christ, but also to her role in the redemptive act of Three Person'd God and the continuation of this work in the Church. Hence, as John Paul II underlines, noone is capable of a more complete expression of human bonds with the Redeemer of man, born of Mary, with God rich in mercy, who chose Mary to be the Mother of His Son and Lord and Enlivener, by whose might she conceived, than She who is Lord's Servant and Mother of the Church. The mystery of redemption takes shape and finds explanation in the cooperation of Mary with the work of the Redeemer through faith, hope and ardent love to restore the supernatural life of human spirit.
