Beata Vergine Maria - Madre della Chiesa - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Blessed Virgin Mary - Mother of the Church - Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...
In the painting "Blessed Virgin Mary - Mother of the Church," we are invited to contemplate Mary's significance within Christianity. This portrayal echoes the decree by the Congregation of Divine Worship, adding the Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church, to the General Roman Calendar. "Standing below the cross, Mary embodies Christ's message of acceptance, love, and human embrace." Despite Scripture's sparse details, Mary's essence has been illuminated through centuries of saintly reflection and papal teachings. Pope Leo XIII emphasized Mary's role as the Mother of the Church in his 1895 encyclical on the rosary, echoing Vatican II's "Lumen Gentium". This culminated in Pope Paul VI's formal designation of her as "Mother of the Church." Subsequent pontiffs, up to Francis, have expanded upon this title, emphasizing Mary's dual role as both Christ's mother and the mother of all believers. Cardinal Sarah highlighted the significance of this celebration, connecting it to the Mystery of the Cross and the Eucharistic Banquet, where Mary's offering to God is paramount. Mary's presence at pivotal moments in salvation history, from the Crucifixion to Pentecost, underscores her ongoing maternal care for the Church. While debates persist over further dogmatic titles like "Mediatrix of All Grace" and "Co-Redemptrix," recognizing her profound influence in the distribution of divine grace, Mary's central role in the Christian faith remains unshakable. As we honor her as Mother of the Church, we acknowledge her as our spiritual mother and queen. Through her intercession and mediation, we are nurtured in God's grace and entrusted to her loving care as members of Christ's Body. In contemplating Mary's profound mysteries, we draw closer to the heart of God and the essence of divine truth. This painting's enigmatic nature guides us to the core of heavenly truth and the limitless heart of God.
