Redemptoris Mater

On the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Life of the Pilgrim Church
Book • 1987
Redemptoris Mater is an encyclical promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1987.

It is a complex exploration of Mariology, divided into three sections.

The first section, 'Mary in the Mystery of Christ,' explains Mary’s role in the divine plan of salvation.

The second section, 'The Mother of God at the Center of the Pilgrim Church,' discusses Mary’s continuing role as the perfect 'mirror' of faith and her journey of faith becoming one with that of the Church at Pentecost.

The third and final section, 'Maternal Mediation,' explores Mary as Mediatrix, as the intercessor in unity with both her Son and the pilgrim Church.

The encyclical emphasizes Mary’s unique role as the spiritual mother of humanity and the advocate of grace.
