Mother of the Lord – Evermore Prayer for Us
Mother of the Lord – Evermore Prayer for Us

Summary/Abstract: Our article, Mother of the Lord - Evermore Prayer For Us, contains an argument, two main parts, and some short conclusions. It is concentrated on the places of the Holy Virgin Mary as an endless intercessor for us as reflected in the Orthodox worship. Firstly, we pointed out the idea that despite a multitude of writings that highlight the special place She has in Orthodox theological thinking and Liturgy, many topics and aspects should be developed and treated in depth. One of them is the one we propose in our article. According to the Orthodox understanding of spiritual life and knowledge, there is a close connection. We know more because we live more deeply and effectively in daily life than what we know from the mysteries of our faith. Secondly, we emphasized that the Mother of our Lord, through Her prayers, is the protector of the Church community seen as a big family. In the pose of intercessor, we meet the Mother of God everywhere in Orthodox worship, so that is why a theologian of the last century introduced the idea of Her omnipresence in Orthodox liturgical life. In addition, we talked about the Mother of the Lord, as the protector of the little family named by St. John Chrysostom the Church from home. Finally, we note that our whole life, in the Church and the family, takes place under the protection of the Mother of God who carries us in Her persistent and unceasing prayers to Christ The Lord.
