Veneration of the virgin Mary.... The birth of Christ....

Jesus' life on earth required a normal birth. The Deity wanted to incarnate Himself in the body of a human being on earth, consequently this body had to have a natural origin.... it had to come forth from a woman's womb. However, in Jesus' time everything extraordinary was quickly explained.... as being in cohorts with the devil.... A natural explanation was certainly searched for yet if it couldn't be found by simple means this very conclusion sufficed and thus gave countless people the reputation of being God-deserters. Judging by human standards Jesus' birth was likewise an act which lacked all preconditions and, for this reason, the same explanation was intended to be applied to a virgin which everyone knew to be exceptionally devout.

The extraordinary occurrences at the birth certainly struck many as strange, yet most attached little importance to them. And so only a small circle received the news about an extremely unusual kind of birth.... about the awakening of a life which lacked all natural prerequisites and was therefore an event caused by God's will and omnipotence. This was subsequently exploited in a way that people used the figure of the mother Mary to create a being which receives their veneration, devotion and love to such an extent that it detracts the human being from his most important task on earth.... to establish contact with the Lord and Saviour Himself.... This applies to the exceptional demands for intercession as well as the illogical devotion which lacks all justification, for the mother of Jesus was chosen as a result of her piety.... but by no means aware of the immense grace which was bestowed upon her.... she was God's chosen servant and therefore only God alone deserves the honour, for all beings are His work....

Amen

ČAŠČENJE DEVICE MARIJE... KRISTUSOVO ROJSTVO

Jezusovo življenje na zemlji je zahtevalo normalno rojstvo. Božanstvo se je želelo utelesiti v telesu človeškega bitja na zemlji, zato je to telo moralo imeti naravni izvor.... moralo je priti iz ženske maternice. Vendar so v Jezusovem času vse nenavadno hitro razložili... kot sodelovanje s hudičem... Naravno razlago so vsekakor iskali, a če je ni bilo mogoče najti s preprostimi sredstvi, je zadostoval prav ta sklep in tako je nešteto ljudi dobilo sloves božjih puščavnikov. Sodeč po človeških merilih je bilo Jezusovo rojstvo prav tako dejanje, za katerega ni bilo nobenih predpogojev, zato je bila ista razlaga namenjena devici, za katero so vsi vedeli, da je bila izjemno pobožna.

Nenavadni dogodki ob rojstvu so se mnogim zdeli nenavadni, vendar jim večina ni pripisovala velikega pomena. Tako je le ozek krog ljudi prejel novico o skrajno nenavadnem rojstvu....o prebujenju življenja, ki ni imelo vseh naravnih predpogojev in je bilo zato dogodek, ki sta ga povzročili Božja volja in vsemogočnost.

To je bilo pozneje izkoriščeno na način, da so ljudje uporabili lik matere Marije, da bi ustvarili bitje, ki je deležno njihovega čaščenja, predanosti in ljubezni do te mere, da človeka odvrne od njegove najpomembnejše naloge na zemlji... vzpostaviti stik s samim Gospodom in Odrešenikom... To velja tako za izjemne zahteve po priprošnji kot tudi za nelogično pobožnost, ki nima nikakršne utemeljitve, saj je bila Jezusova mati izbrana zaradi svoje pobožnosti...., nikakor pa se ni zavedala neizmerne milosti, ki ji je bila podeljena... bila je izbrana Božja služabnica, zato si samo Bog zasluži čaščenje, saj so vsa bitja njegovo delo...

AMEN
