To His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI
Apostolic Palace
00120 Vatican City State
(Europe)
Your Holiness:
In a spirit of filial love and obedience, we, as members of the People of
God, wish to humbly bring before you our petition and prayer for the solemn
papal definition of the revealed role of Mary most holy as the Spiritual Mother
of all peoples under its three principal aspects as Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix
of all graces, and Advocate.
We firmly believe, Holy Father, that the solemn papal declaration of the Blessed
Virgin Mary as the Spiritual Mother of all humanity in her roles which God
has given her as Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Advocate will
bring great graces to the Church and the world by an explicit solemn recognition
of her maternal role on the part of the Church, and thus allowing her to exercise
fully the motherly gift which Jesus Christ gave to humanity from the cross: “Woman,
behold, your son!… Behold, your mother!" (Jn. 19:26-27). We believe
that this dogmatic proclamation will also further the authentic ecumenical
mission of the Church by proclaiming the revealed truth about Mary, who collaborated
in an altogether unique way in the work of our redemption in a manner that
was completely subordinate to and dependent upon Jesus Christ, the one divine
Redeemer of the human race.
In view of the many serious crises presently facing the entire human family,
including war, terrorism, moral decline, and natural disaster, we humbly request
that you solemnly declare the dogma of Mary as the Spiritual Mother all peoples,
specifying that she is the Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Advocate,
and thus to provide for the full actuality of her motherly roles of intercession
for humanity, which we believe will effect a profound historic and continuing
grace for the Church and for the world.
