Mother Leads Rosary at Son's Beatification Armed only with "truth, justice and charity," Father Jerzy Popieluszko sought to maintain and give witness to his freedom of conscience as a citizen and a priest. This was how the Polish priest was described by Archbishop Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, when he presided over Sunday's beatification of Father Popieluszko. The priest's mother, Marianna Popieluszko, led a rosary prayed before the Mass.... Click here for the complete article. The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
'Behold Your Mother', Mary Why is a Jewish woman who lived two millennia ago portrayed in so many ways by so many people? Mary, the mother of Jesus, sometimes appears Mediterranean; sometimes, northern European; sometimes, African; sometimes, Asian. Her skin takes on all the hues of humanity. Her dress varies, too. Our Lady of Guadalupe is dressed as an Aztec princess; Our Lady of La Salette is dressed in French clothes. This phenomenon about the only person who was with Jesus both at his birth and at his death makes sense to Father François Rossier, S.M., who on Jan. 25, 2010 was installed as executive director of the University of Dayton's Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute, succeeding Father Johann G. Roten, S.M., who headed the institute for more than twenty years. The explanation lies in Mary's relationship to Jesus and to us. In the mentality of the ancient Mediterranean world, according to Rossier, a newborn child was not recognized as a full human being. That came only with time, with education; in Latin, the word for education is humanitas. "Education," Rossier says, "is what made a newborn child a human being."
