ESCOLA DE MARIA, MÃE DE DEUS, AJUDA MATERNA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DA PAZ ENTRE OS HOMENS

Abstract

This paper explores the thinking of the theologian and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, focusing on the pronounced homilies at Solemnities of Mary, Mother of God, and of the Assumption, and in the allocutions at Angelus, about Mary’s mission in the economy of salvation, the comprehension of the title “Mother of God” and its consequences to Christian’s Faith. Benedict XVI’s mariology is in perfect harmony with the Second Vatican Council, which opened a new path in the Church, presented Mary as a perfect model for the Church and maternal aid for a peaceful coexistence, always and exclusively guided by her Son, Jesus Christ.
