FEATURED DOCUMENTS

Rev. Stephen Hartdegen, O.F.M - The Marian Significance of Cana (JOHN 2: 1-11)
Mary is the close associate and collaborator with her Son in achieving the work of His public ministry, namely, the manifestation of His office as Messiah and Son of God. Her function as collaborator is demonstrated by the part she played in bringing about the performance of Christ’s first miracle and the accomplishment of its purpose, belief in Him on the part of the disciples.

Rev. Dominic J. Unger, OFM Cap - Patristic Interpretation of the Protoevangelium
With almost equal frequency the Early Fathers of the Church noted that Mary shared in the work of redemption precisely because she was virginal mother of the Seed, and in that way she contributed to His initial victory over Satan. Because of that a number of them pointed out that Mary is the opposite of Eve. They, in other words, used Gen. 3, 15 as one source of the Marian role in the Eve-Mary antithesis.

Very Rev. Msgr. George W. Shea - The Protoevangelium in the Light of the Magisterium. Holy Scripture is to be explained according to the mind of the Church which Christ our Lord has appointed guardian and interpreter of the whole deposit of divinely revealed truth. (Pius XII, Humani Generis). This is the purpose of this study, to elucidate the authoritative teachings of the Magisterium on the text of Protoevangelium which is constantly referred to as a Marian text.

Friar Maximilian M. Dean - The Marian Devotion of St. Anthony of Padua
St. Anthony's devotion was founded on the solid foundation of Catholic doctrine, as all true devotion is. Consequently he has left the Church with a wealth of Mariological insight in his sermons. Reflecting upon the doctrines about our Blessed Lady through the eyes of St. Anthony one realizes with him that “in Her were gathered all the privileges of merits and rewards.”
