Document Summary
Woman, here is your son; son, here is your mother (john 19,26-27). Jesus loved first welcomed mary into his home, it was mary who also welcomed the church. I am in front of a sculpture of the virgin of montserrat, and today i have sat down to write a few lines on a theme of spirituality. It seems to me a filial duty to write something about. Already from an anthropological and psychological perspective, the incorporation of the maternal archetype into one"s own spirituality, in my opinion, enriches and complements the human and christian development of the person. And it is not necessary to free mary from dogma to make her closer to us. If dogmas are symbols of faith, then they are formulations capable of bringing us "into a relationship with ". This mary, so human, has already been admitted into the realm of divinity: that is why a special proximity with her is possible.
