Ave Maria!

We are so blessed to have Dr Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, host this new inspirational series on AirMaria entitled Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, & Advocate, which will present and explain these roles of Mary to help prepare the way for a possible definition of the 5th Marian Dogma.

In this first episode Dr. Mark clearly explains Our Blessed Lady’s role as Coredemptrix by first underscoring what Coredemptrix does not mean i.e. that she is not God, that she is not equal with Jesus, and that she is not the Fourth person of the Blessed Trinity.

We hope you will enjoy watching this series as much as we did filming it. We also hope that this series will help to dispel all the many misconceptions and misunderstandings of Our Blessed Lady’s role in the salvation of the human race and inspire you to greater love of Mary and her Son, Jesus.

Ave Maria!

A common objection to Marian devotion is that it takes away from the mediation of Jesus, the one true Mediator between God and man (1Tim 2:5). In this episode Fra Joseph shows that Marian devotion doesn’t take away from Christ’s mediation, but is a legitimate participation in it.

In this episode Dr Mark Miravalle discusses how to present Mary to others especially to non-Catholics. He centers his discussion on the concept that any artist wants to make a masterpiece into which he pours everything he has. God, who is the master artist par excellence, did this in Mary. Watch this video and see how this concept can first increase our own awe of Mary and then be able to communicate it to others.

“The prayer of petition is not like a Coke machine – we just put our money in, push the button and get exactly what we want. God answers our prayers according to His wisdom and justice.”

Marycast Specials #1 ( 10min) Play – During the 16th World Day of the Sick on February 11, The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI gives his strongest statement yet on the direct participation of Our Lady in the Redemption of the world at Calvary.“Mary is a model of total self-abandonment to the will of God: she received in her heart the eternal Word and she conceived it in her virginal womb; she trusted in God and, with her soul pierced by a sword (cf. Lk 2:35), she did not hesitate to share the passion of her Son, renewing on Calvary at the foot of the Cross her ‘Yes’ of the Annunciation.”

Ave Maria!— April’s Theme: Obedience

“It is beyond the shadow of a doubt that the will of the Immaculate is fully united to the will of God; therefore, we need not do anything else than unite our will with Hers, so that, through Her, we unite ourselves to God. But only holy obedience is capable of manifesting to us, in an infallible way, the will of God. Therefore, let’s do it ever more perfectly.” (cf. SK #579)
