Today, May 20, as our Church celebrates the memorial of Mary, the Mother of the Church, a reading from a sermon by Saint Aelred, abbot.
The theological roots of this title (Mary, Mother of the Church) go back to the early Church. The fathers of the church, holy and studious bishops of the first centuries, often spoke of Mary as the new Eve. Just as the woman, Eve was “the mother of all the living”, the woman Mary was mother of all those living in Christ. In the Book of Revelation, St. John says that this woman’s offspring are “those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus.”
Saint Aelred, an English Cistercian monk, was a writer, historian, and outstanding abbot who influenced monasticism in medieval England, Scotland, and France. He is venerated by the Catholic Church as a saint and by some Anglicans.
