What is the urgency for
this Dogma?
The Dogma will clarify and define
the content of the Catholic Faith, especially as the ordinary magisterial
teachings on Mary Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate are currently
being undermined in certain quarters within the Church. The contemporary
frenzy of media misinformation in the Catholic press regarding these
roles manifest the dire need for the papal definition.
The definition of any dogma is accompanied
by an outpouring of Gods grace, of which the Church and the
world today are sorely in need. The late Mother Teresa of Calcutta
wrote: "The papal definition of Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix
and Advocate will bring great graces to the Church." In fact,
this Dogma would also increase our disposition to receive the graces
God wants to give to humanity since our capacity to receive grace
depends upon our humility. We are humble when we honor "the
means" that God chooses to lavish his graces upon us, and when
we are grateful not only to God but to those creatures who freely
help us.
Many believe this Marian Dogma will
initiate the Triumph of our Blessed Mother over Satan, as foretold
in Genesis and at Fatima. It is the key that unlocks the graces
of the Triumph. Her titles are her works, her titles are her functions,
and the solemn proclamation of our Mothers titles will lead
to the full release of her most powerful sanctifying functions of
grace and peace for the many crises experienced in the contemporary
Church and world. It will allow her to intercede with the fullest
possible mediation given to her by God for this Triumph, for the
Church and for humanity.
The consecration of the world, inclusive
of Russia, to the Immaculate Heart was completed, fulfilling the
request of Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima. Why was it so important?
Because it allowed our Blessed Mother to intercede in a powerful
way. She respects our freedom just as God the Father respects our
freedom. Our Heavenly Mother is limited by our freedom in exercising
her full God-given power of mediation and intercession. We must
freely acknowledge her as the Mother of all Peoples, Coredemptrix,
Mediatrix of all Graces, and Advocate so that she can fully exercise
these roles for us at this watershed of human history, for the many
crises experienced in the contemporary Church and world. Among these
graces will be the grace necessary for an authentic Christian
unity and reaffirmation of the authority of the papal Magisterium
for the fruit of greater ecclesial unity.
