MARY, MOTHER OF THE LORD, IN TRANSLATION AND COMMENTS ON THE NEW TESTAMENT, SELECTED HOMILIES AND CIRCULARS OF ARCHBISHOP IVAN ŠARIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The Blessed Virgin Mary occupies a unique role in the history of salvation. This role is evidenced not only through the proclaimed dogma of the ecumenical and regional councils, but also through the religious consciousness of bishops, theologians and the entire people of God. The intention of this paper is to illuminate and demonstrate Šarić’s perception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her place and role in Christian tradition and Scripture, and his veneration of Our Lady and presentation of the Mother of Jesus to the faithful among the Croatian people, through his comments on the New Testament. In this paper, Šarić’s commentaries, which are of a popular and pastoral character, are compared with the commentary of the ecumenical New Testament, which enjoys the consensus of theologians and biblical scholars. The second and third parts of the paper show how the perception and veneration of Mary, the mother of Jesus, were actualized in the teaching service of the second Archbishop of Vrhbosna, Ivan Šarić, and at the end of the paper, concluding observations are made.
