Vibrant Meditation on Mary

Hans Urs von Balthasar merits the acclaim of those who view him as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century because he exhibits the quintessential combination of the great theologian: depth of traditional devotion combined with intellectual brilliance seasoned with common sense. In this small book, he shows us the crucial role of Mary for all Christians as the one who defines what the Church is and the one who directs us to Jesus. For Christians to understand their circumstances as individuals and as Church, Mary is essential as the model of the first disciple. Balthasar captures her singular role when he quotes her words in the Gospel: "'Do whatever he tells you.' Perhaps nowhere is Mary's whole cast of mind more present than in this saying" (p. 63). All Christians should listen.
