The Virgin Mary asks for Mediatrix role

By Jakob Marschner on Mar 18, 2012

“I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father – your mediatrix” the Virgin Mary tells visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo. Playing into the petitions for the Pope to declare Mary “Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocate” in a fifth and final Marian dogma, it is only the second time for 30 years of apparitions the word appears in a Medjugorje message.

Though The Catholic Church already invokes the Virgin Mary as Mediatrix, only the Pope can further formalize the title by means of declaring a Marian dogma. Pope Benedict XVI regularly receives petitions to declare the fifth and final Marian dogma, as did his predecessor John Paul II, here on the cover of The Dogma and the Triumph by a leading 5th dogma proposer, theology professor Mark Miravalle

Proposers of a fifth Marian dogma to be declared by the Pope caught new wind on Sunday when the Virgin Mary made a rare mention of one of the three titles contained within the dogma, during her apparition to Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo.

Led by professor Mark Miravalle of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, USA, grassroot work for the Virgin Mary to be dogmatically declared “Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocate” has been going on for decades. Organized in Vox Populi, millions of lay people have joined priests, bishops and cardinals in petitioning the Pope to declare the dogma which proposers believe will further strengthen the Virgin Mary and open up new avenues for her work of interecession.

In what was only her second mention of the word “mediatrix” in a message given to a Medjugorje visionary, the Virgin Mary told Mirjana:

“Dear children! I am coming among you because I desire to be your mother – your intercessor. I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father – your mediatrix. I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit. My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely. I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love, and then I will give them over to my Son. I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart. Pray for your shepherds that, united in my Son, they can always joyfully proclaim the Word of God. Thank you.”

The first time the Virgin Mary used the word “Mediatrix” in Medjugorje was on July 17th 1986. By then the Virgin did not only express her wish of taking on the role of mediatrix for people. She noted that she is the Mediatrix:

“Dear children, today I am calling you to reflect upon why I am with you this long. I am the Mediatrix between you and God. Therefore, dear children, I desire to call you to live always out of love all that which God desires of you. For that reason, dear children, in your own humility live all the messages which I am giving you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

The apparition on Mirjanas 47th birthday was attended by several thousand people by The Blue Cross in Medjugorje. It began at 2 pm and lasted for five minutes
