Marija – Božja službenica

Ovaj rad se bavi osobom Djevice Marije, Majke Božje. Prvi dio rada donosi pregled proglašenja četiriju marijanskih dogma donesenih kroz crkvenu povijest, uz objašnjavanje okolnosti njihova nastanka. Uz proglašenje dogma, spominje se i neprekinuta važnost koju su Blaženoj Djevici davali crkveni oci od najranijih dana crkvene povijesti. Sve to s ciljem da se ukaže kako je Marija oduvijek imala važnu ulogu u životu Crkve, od njezinih najranijih dana. Drugi dio rada donosi određene razloge za čašćenje Djevice Marije, te kako Marija i danas ostaje bitna poveznica ljudi, posebice mladih, sa Spasiteljem. Uz to se spominje i Marijina uloga u Crkvi danas, te važnost pridavanja iste pozornosti Djevici u današnje vrijeme kako je to i nekad bilo. This paper deals with the person of Mary, Mother of God.
