Matka Jezusa a rodzina

Abstract

Gospels speaking about Christ Lord’s Mother show Her trice in relation to family: Mary hurring with Her help to Elizabeth’s and Zachariah’s family, Mary Anxious about the young family at Cana of Galilee and Mary praying herself in the middle of the homely Church, i.e. the Family Church. The arising kerygmatic conclusion in reference to these three mysteries in Mary’s lifetime directs our Mary’s piety not to the side of transient sentiment but to imitation of Her deeds. In the first mystery Mary with hurry, emphasizing the importance of this visit goes „to the mountains”. The motive of „mountains” accentuated in relevant fragment shows at undertaking of trouble related to carring of help. This journey is verification of the authenticity of meeting with God and His fulfilment by meeting with a man. Mary - the Lord’s Servent, appears here also as the servant of a man and a family. The scene from the wedding at Cana of Galilee emphasizes Mary’s dignity as the Mother of Jesus, and as a consequence the Head Mother and Mother of the members of the revived humanity. Mary participates in human joy. In the Cana she is „the Consoler of the dejected and the Cause of joy”. She doesn’t keep the glory of the miracle for herself but she disappears from the scene of the event, leaving her Son on the first plan. In the orginal Church Mary has got her place close by the Apostles. This presence of Hers in the Church - Family is active. It was the prayer presence and as such it had the serving character.
