Summary/Abstract: In the plan of God’s Mercy, Mary plays a unique and irreplaceable role as the Mother of Jesus and as a sign of God’s Mercy towards all women and the entire world. As a sign, Mary significantly resembles other women both because of her sex and because of Jesus’ attitude towards the women he met. This attitude is so clear that it conveys that women experience God’s mercy in a particular way and that they have a specific vocation in the world. Particular chapters of the Bible tell us about Mary as a sign of Divine Mercy, about God’s Mercy toward women, and about women as the ones who bring Divine Mercy to the world.
