Mary, Hope of the World, part 2: Types and Symbols of Mary in the Hebrew Bible

7/15/2021

Today, we continue our meditation with Blessed Alberione, SSP and the early Church Fathers regarding types and symbols of people and events in the Old Testament that take on new meaning and ultimate fulfillment in Mary, the Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of the Father.

One of the symbols I like best in this reflection is Mary as "mouth of the Most High" (Ecclesiasticus 24:5). Is Mary not "mouth of the Most High"? Did she not silently bring forth the Word spoken of God the Father? You see? This is a lovely way to read scripture. I hope you enjoy these reflections, as we continue reading in Bl. Alberione's book Mary, Hope of the World.
Additionally, feel free to join in this work of bringing to others the rich heritage of Christian reflection on the people and events of salvation history. Share this podcast!

"thank you" from venezuela

" UNA VEZ MÁS QUIERO DARLE LAS GRACIAS EN NOMBRE DE LOS NIÑOS DE NUESTRO PAIS Y NUESTRO ESTADO MONAGAS, POR ESTE GRAN GESTO DEL CIELO, DE SOLIDARIDAD QUE HAN MANIFESTADO DE TODO CORAZÓN CON LOS MÁS PEQUEÑOS Y VULNERABLES DEL REINO. ESTARÁN FELICES DE SABER QUE NO ESTÁN SÓLOS, QUE HAY ALGUIEN QUE DESDE MUY LEJOS SE ACORDÓ DE ELLOS Y EN NOMBRE DE PAPA DIOS HAN EXTENDIDO SU MANO Y SU CORAZÓN PARA SUMARSE A ESTA NOBLE CAUSA. AL INVERTIRLO EN LOS ALIMENTOS PARA NUESTROS NIÑOS LE IREMOS INFORMANDO. Y PASANDOLE FOTOS. DIOS LES RECOMPENSE A UD Y A TODOS LOS QUE ESTÁN DETRAS DE ESTE DIVINO REGALO.
