READINGS
FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION (11:19--12:17):
And the temple of God was opened
in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were
lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.
And a great sign appeared in
heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her
head a crown of twelve stars: And being with child, she cried laboring in
giving birth, and she was in pain to give birth.
And there was seen another sign in
heaven: behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on
his head seven diadems: And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who
was ready to be delivered, so that when she should be delivered, he might
devour her son.
And she brought forth a male
child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up
to God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
had a place prepared by God …
And there was a great battle in
heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought,
and his angels. And they did not prevail, neither was their place found any longer in heaven. And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is
called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was cast unto
the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
And I heard a loud voice in
heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast
forth, who accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not
their lives unto death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell
therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto
you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw that he
was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the male child. And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the desert unto her place …. And the dragon was angry against
the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

FROM THE ENCYCLICAL "HUMANAE VITAE" OFPOPE ST. JOHN PAUL II
Mary, like the Church of which she
is the type, is a mother of all who are reborn to life. She is in fact the
mother of the Life by which everyone lives, and when she brought it forth from
herself she in some way brought to rebirth all those who were to live by that
Life...
The mutual relationship between
the mystery of the Church and Mary appears clearly in the "great
portent" described in the Book of Revelation: A great portent appeared
in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on
her head a crown of twelve stars" (12:1). In this sign the Church
recognizes an image of her own mystery: present in history, she knows that she
transcends history, inasmuch as she constitutes on earth the "seed and
beginning" of the Kingdom of God. The Church sees this mystery fulfilled
in complete and exemplary fashion in Mary. She is the woman of glory in whom
God's plan could be carried out with supreme perfection.
The woman clothed with the sun,
the Book of Revelation tells us, was with child (12:2). The Church is
fully aware that she bears within herself the Savior of the world, Christ the
Lord. She is aware that she is called to offer Christ to the world, giving men
and women new birth into God's own life. But the Church cannot forget that her
mission was made possible by the motherhood of Mary, who conceived and bore the
One who is God from God, true God from true God. Mary is truly the
Mother of God, the Theotokos, in whose motherhood the vocation to
motherhood bestowed by God on every woman is raised to its highest level. Thus
Mary becomes the model of the Church, called to be the new Eve, the
mother of believers, the mother of the living (cf. Gen 3:20).
The Church's spiritual motherhood
is only achieved through the pangs and "the labour" of childbirth
(cf. Rev 12:2), that is to say, in constant tension with the forces of evil
which still roam the world and affect human hearts, offering resistance to
Christ: In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines
in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (Jn 1:4-5)....
In the Book of Revelation, the
"great portent" of the Woman is accompanied by another portent
which appeared in heaven: a great red dragon, which represents Satan, the
personal power of evil, as well as all the powers of evil at work in history
and opposing the Church's mission.
Here too Mary sheds light on the community
of believers. The hostility of the powers of evil is, in fact, an insidious
opposition which, before affecting the disciples of Jesus, is directed against
his mother. To save the life of her Son from those who fear him as a dangerous
threat, Mary has to flee with Joseph and the child into Egypt. Mary thus helps the Church to
realize that life is always at the centre of a great struggle between good and
evil, between light and darkness. The dragon wishes to devour the child
brought forth, a figure of Christ, whom Mary brought forth in the
fullness of time (Gal 4:4) and whom the Church must unceasingly offer to
people in every age. But in a way that child is also a figure of every person,
every child, especially every helpless baby whose life is threatened, because, as
the Council reminds us, By his Incarnation the Son of God has united
himself in some fashion with every person.
It is precisely in the
"flesh" of every person that Christ continues to reveal himself and
to enter into fellowship with us, so that rejection of human life, in whatever
form that rejection takes, is really a rejection of Christ. This is the fascinating
but also demanding truth which Christ reveals to us and which his Church
continues untiringly to proclaim: Whoever receives one such child in my name
receives me (Mt 18:5); Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the
least of these my brethren, you did it to me (Mt 25:40).
