Mary, Help of Christians
This article examines the Marian title Mary, Help of Christians from the perspective of Catholic doctrine. It explores its biblical foundations, the witness of the Church's Tradition, and its historical development, highlighting the Virgin Mary's role as Mother and intercessor of the People of God. It also explains the true theological meaning of this title, carefully distinguishing what it does and does not imply within the Catholic faith, and places it in relation to other Marian titles such as Mother of the Church, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Our Advocate. The study emphasizes that all help received through Mary derives from her participation in God's unique plan of salvation and always leads to Jesus Christ, the source of every grace and salvation.
