Mariological Congress runs online on 8-11 September, and is hosted by the Pontifical Academia Mariana Internationalis to promote devotion to the Blessed Mother.<\/p>\n\n<p>The theme for the event is \u201cMary between Theologies and Cultures Today: Models, Communications, Perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Pope Francis greeted participants in the Congress with a message on Wednesday, encouraging them not to forget the \u201csilent cry\u201d of those who are suffering due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mother of forgotten<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe Pope noted that true joy which comes from the Lord always makes space in our hearts for those who are forgotten by society.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMary,\u201d he said, \u201cin the beauty of the evangelical path and service to the common good of humanity and the planet, always teaches us to listen to these voices, and she herself gives voice to the voiceless, to \u2018give birth to a new world\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The Pope recalled the 60-plus years of service of the Pontifical Marian Academy in coordinating Marian studies across the world through Mariological conferences.<\/p>\n\n<p>These events, he said, offer a witness to how Mariology acts as a platform for dialogue between cultures, one which is able to nourish fraternity and peace.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Woman of the times<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nPope Francis then recalled that all theology, including Mariology, should have the courage to live faithfully along the frontier.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAnd it is near the borders that the Mother of the Lord has a special presence,\u201d he said. \u201cShe is the Mother of all, independent of ethnicity or nationality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>In that role, the Virgin Mary can become a reference point for overcoming divisions and building bridges.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAlong the path of a culture of fraternity, the Spirit calls us to welcome anew the sign of consolation and sure hope which has the name, face, heart of Mary, who is woman, disciples, mother, and friend,\u201d said the Pope.<\/p>\n\n<p>He thus urged the Marian Academy to seek out the signs of the \u201ctimes of Mary\u201d, so that the entire Church might benefit from their studies.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mary encapsulates the Word<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe Blessed Virgin Mary, added the Pope, citing Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, is most at home in the Word of God, with her thoughts and those of God in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe mystery, which the figure of Mary encapsulates within herself,\u201d concluded Pope Francis, \u201cis the selfsame mystery of the Incarnate Word of God.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Vatican News The 25th International Marian Mariological Congress runs online on 8-11
