Blessed Virgin Mary – a sign of hope in Roman liturgy

Abstract

Među naslovima kojima Crkva u liturgiji časti Blaženu Djevicu Mariju nalaze se i nazivi koji Mariju oslovljavaju kao znak, zoru i majku nade. U glavnom dijelu članka autor propitkuje primjenu tih naziva u euharistijskim slavljima i u molitvi Časoslova, konkretno u Gospinim blagdanima Bezgrješnoga začeća, Marijina rođenja i uznesenja, Marije Kraljice, zajedničkim slavljima Blažene Djevice Marije i molitvi Zdravo Kraljice. Kratak tumač objašnjava liturgijsku upotrebu tih naziva i u Zbirci misa o Blaženoj Djevici Mariji i u slavljima sv. Marije u subotu. U zaključku se naglašava činjenica kako novo usmjerenje crkvenog učenja o Isusovoj majci odlučno utječe na oblikovanje liturgijskih tekstova za marijanska spomenslavlja dajući im kristološko i ekleziološko usmjerenje.Among the titles with which the Church praises the Blessed Virgin Mary in Roman liturgy are also the appellations of Mary such as a sign of hope, the dawn of hope and the mother of hope. In the main part, the author discusses the use of these names in Eucharistic celebrations and in the Divine Office, precisely in the Feasts of the Immaculate Conception, the Marian Birth and Assumption, Queen Mary and in the common celebrations of the Blessed Virgin Mary as well as in the Prayer Salve Regina. A brief display and interpretation explain the liturgical use of these names in the collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in the celebration of St. Mary on Saturday. The conclusion underlines the fact that a new orientation of the Church’s teachings about Jesus’ Mother decisively influences the formulation and proposal of liturgical texts for the Marian celebrations, giving them a Christological and Ecclesiological character
