SUMMARY:Blessed Virgin Mary\, Mother of the Church
DESCRIPTION:The title “Mary\, Mother of the Church” reflects the Church’s belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus\, but also the spiritual mother of all who belong to Christ’s Body\, the Church. \nThe foundation for this title comes from the Gospel of John (John 19:25–27). As Jesus hung on the Cross\, He saw His mother standing near the beloved disciple and said to her\, “Woman\, behold your son\,” and to the disciple\, “Behold your mother.” In that moment\, the Church understands that Jesus entrusted Mary not only to John\, but to all disciples throughout time. At the foot of the Cross — the very hour of redemption — Mary’s motherhood was extended to the entire Christian community. \nAfter the Resurrection and Ascension\, Mary remained with the Apostles in prayer\, awaiting the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 1:14). Her presence among the early believers highlights her role as a mother within the newborn Church — praying\, interceding\, and supporting its mission from the beginning. \nIn 1964\, during the Second Vatican Council\, Pope Paul VI formally proclaimed Mary as “Mother of the Church\,” affirming what Christians had long believed. In 2018\, Pope Francis established the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary\, Mother of the Church\, to be celebrated each year on the Monday after Pentecost — emphasizing her maternal role in guiding and protecting the Church as it continues its mission. \nHer feast day invites the faithful to reflect on Mary as a model of discipleship: her “yes” at the Annunciation\, her faithfulness at the Cross\, and her prayerful presence at Pentecost. As Mother of the Church\, she is seen as a source of unity\, comfort\, and hope — gently leading believers closer to her Son and strengthening the Church in every age.
