22 MARY'S DIVINE MOTHERHOOD As St. Augustine beautifully says: " [She is] spiritually the mother not indeed of our Head, i. e., the Saviour Himself, from whom rather she is spiritually born . . . but [the spiritual mother] of His members, i. e., ourselves, be- cause she cooperated in love towards the birth of faith- ful [Christians] in the Church who are the members of that Head ; bodily she is truly the mother of that Head." 19 Some of the Fathers describe Mary's mystic relation to the human race by referring to her as a root (radix) or vine (vitis),— two analogies which, of course, in an infinitely higher sense apply to our Lord Himself. 3. Mary as an Intermediary Between God and the World.—Like her Divine Son, though not in the same sense, Mary is an intermediary between God and His creatures. Christ's mediatorship is based on the Hypostatic Union of the two Natures in one Person; that of the Blessed Virgin depends entirely on her Divine Mother- hood. Hers is therefore a participated and secondary mediatorship (mediatio participata s. secun- daria), which derives its essence and effectiveness solely from the grace of Christ ; furthermore, it is not an end in itself, but merely a means to an end. Many Fathers and theologians compare the mediatorship of Mary to the ladder which Jacob beheld in his dream, " standing upon the earth, and the top thereof 19 " Et mater quidem spiritu non operata est caritate ut fideles in Capitis nostri, quod est ipse Salva- ecclesia nascerentur, quae illius tor, ex quo magis ilia spirit alit er Capitis membra sunt: corpore vero nata est, . . . sed plane membro- ipsius Capitis mater/' (JDe Virg., rum eius, quod nos sumus, quia co- c. 6.)
DIGNITY OF DIVINE MOTHERHOOD 23 touching heaven." 20 She is the ladder by which the Son of God descended from, and by which men ascend to heaven. 21 Other favorite Patristic metaphors are a ring (annulus) and a bridge (pons) restoring the lost connection of mankind with God. St. Proclus (+466) combined all these similes in an enthusiastic eulogy. " Mary, I say, maiden and mother, virgin and heaven, the singular bridge between God and men, the astonishing weaver's beam of humanity, on which in an ineffable manner was woven the garment of that [Hypostatic] Union, the Holy Ghost Himself being the weaver, the connecting thread the power from above, the wool that ancient fleece of Adam, the woof the immaculate flesh taken from the Virgin, the shuttle the immeasurable grace of the bearer, the artist the Logos, entering through her hearing." 22 The objection that these prerogatives are not all ex- pressly enumerated in Holy Scripture is met partly by ref- erence to certain Old Testament texts and types, and partly by the statement that the dignity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is sufficiently indicated in the pregnant passage: " From her was born Jesus, who is called the Christ." 23 20 Gen.
