THE MOTHERL Y MISSION OF MAR Y ACCORDING TO THE 2nd VATICAN COUNCIL IN THE THEOLOGY OF JOHN PAUL 2nd

Kršćani su tijekom dvije tisuće godina živjeli i svjedočili činjenicu da je Marija iz Nazareta ne samo Majka Isusova već i naša Majka. To posebno poslanje Bogorodice unutar Crkve vidljivo je već na početku i na kraju Ivanova evanđelja. Pri tome svadba u Kani Galilejskoj (Iv 2,1-2), Marijina prisutnost pod križem i Isusove riječi proglašenja njezina novog, duhovnog majčinstva (Iv 19,25-27) čine ključna mjesta. Ovaj rad ukazuje na teološko promišljanje Marijina poslanja koje proizlazi kako iz Drugog vatikanskog koncila tako i iz pontifikata Ivana Pavla II. Dogmatska konstitucija o Crkvi Lumen gentium Drugog vatikanskog koncila ističe Marijino mjesto u otajstvu Krista i otajstvu Crkve. Na taj način prikazuje kristocentričnost i eklezijalnost Marijina poslanja, ali i njezino posebno poslanje kao naše Majke. Rad se poziva i na učiteljstvo pape Ivana Pavla II. koji je, oslanjajući se na Koncil, govorio o Marijinu majčinskom poslanju, posebno u enciklici Redemptoris Mater. Otkupiteljeva majka.Throughout two thousand years Christians lived and witnessed that Mary from Nazareth is not only the Mother of Jesus, but our Mother too. This special mission of Mother of God in the Church can be seen at the beginning and at the end of the Gospel of John. The key points are: the wedding in Cana of Galilee (John 2,1-2) and the presence of Mary under the cross with the words of Jesus proclaiming her new, spiritual motherhood (John 19,25-27). The theological pondering of the mission of Mary in the 2nd Vatican council and its reflections in the pontificate of John Paul 2nd are the theme of this article. The dogmatic constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium evidences the role of Mary in the mystery of Christ and in the mystery of the Church. Lumen Gentium presents the Christocentricity and the Ecclesiality of the mission of Mary, and her particular mission as our Mother. The article is relying on the teaching of pope John Paul 2nd, who following the documents of the 2nd Vatican council spoke on the motherly mission of Mary, especially in the encyclical letter Redemptoris Mater, the Mother of the Redeemer
