聖母瑪利亞為導師

我們對導師耶穌的敬禮,如果先有對聖母導師的敬禮作準備,就能更完美。

教宗良十三世在 “Adjutricem populi christiani”(信民之佑)通諭裡寫道:「……聖母瑪利亞實在被人奉為教會的慈母,使徒的導師和母后;她把自己心中所保存的神諭告訴了使徒們。」所以,聖母瑪利亞真是一位導師。既然我們說「經由聖母瑪利亞,前往耶穌那裡」,所以「經由聖母導師,前往導師耶穌那裡」這句話,也是適當的。聖母先做了門徒,然後當了導師,後來又做了導師們的慈母和保護人。

耶穌的導師。歷來各位作者,縷述聖母瑪利亞對自己的聖子所擔任的職務:聖母給了祂人性的本體,用母乳和自己辛勞的成果──麵包來餵祂,把祂抱在懷裡,同聖若瑟一起救護祂,逃往埃及,後來又把祂帶回加利勒亞,教祂學步,又教祂念經祈禱,如同在聖經上所記載的,在自然的危險中保護了祂,教導祂與人談話,準備祂奉獻自己作為犧牲,又埋葬了祂的屍體……

從領報時起,一切都要照著先知們的預言實現,為給人類預備一位導師,一個犧牲和一位司祭。聖母瑪利亞受了聖神的光照,明瞭天主的計劃,並用她所有的智慧和一切的行動,協助實行這項計劃。在白泠、在獻主於聖殿時、在耶穌隱居納匝肋,以及出外傳教和受難……時,她都這樣實行了。

現在,已經蒙召升天的聖母瑪利亞,用她的雙眼和她的心神,注視天主的性體,享受永遠的福樂。她享見天主,並在天主內,也看見恩寵的各種奧蹟,以及所有的受造物,和我們每一個人。她在天上,身為普世中保,也擔任傳授知識的職務;給誰傳授,傳授多少,這都由她隨意決定。

在教會裡擔任導師。聖母瑪利亞是一位傳報福音、最謙遜最真誠的導師。她切願把福音傳遍整個世界,使人人都能聽到,獲得救恩,享受永福。

她是使徒們的導師。耶穌在死前,對若望說:「看!你的母親。」祂說這話,因為從那時起,聖母瑪利亞應該開始負起一個極重要的新任務,即成為普世萬民的精神母親。

耶穌被釘在十字架上之後,使徒集團經過了一個可怕的危機。必須有一個人,能有使徒們的信任,把他們聚集在自己身邊,並教導他們。這樣的人便是聖母瑪利亞。她叫使徒們集合在晚餐廳裡,準備他們領受天主聖神。不但如此,而且在那等待的時期,她始終常是他們的導師;因為她特別教導他們,關於一個他們還不知道的奧蹟,即關於天主降生為人的奧蹟。此外,她還把耶穌在隱居生活中,許多其他的詳細情形,祇有她知道的,也都告訴了他們。

她是一總的基督信徒的導師。聖母瑪利亞首先是信德的母親和導師;因為她在耶穌死後那個動盪的時期,對使徒們所做的事,也在基督教會的歷史過程中,每逢信仰受到嚴重侵犯時,也同樣做到了。耶穌基督立祂為我們的母親,願意特別把這個任務託給了她。

每次教會遭遇一個新的危機時,聖母瑪利亞就盡力保護教會,在世人面前,特別顯出她是真理和信德的導師。
