Mary unites East and West
Mary is a "treasure" and a "gift" through whom we know Christ; she is "the mother of all men" who unites the East and the West. These are the beliefs of participants of the book presentation about the Immaculate Virgin in Rome.
"She is the person who may help us discover the Lord himself because she is the one who best knew Christ."
"Since she is a gift for everyone, all of us disciples of Christ can truly unite and live an authentic ecumenism."
The book, presented at the "Russia Ecumenica" Centre, is titled "She is the Immaculate. And she is your Mother", and was published by the Franciscan Charismatic Editorial of Italy.
"We have about 30 years of existence and since then we have promoted the dialogue of the East and the West, a more Catholic West and a more Orthodox East."
"Because Mary is the only Mother of the Western Church, Mary is a treasure."
"I believe that the devotion to the Mother of God is in reality one of the least debated issues in both Catholicism and the Orthodox Church."
The representative of the Orthodox Russian Church, present at the event, explains the importance of Mary for the Orthodox people:
"Certainly the prayer addressed to the mother of God unites us; because in the West and the East there is a great tradition of the devotion to Mary; the feasts to the Mother of God are very dear to the Orthodox people."
