Je li Isusova Majka bila i njegova učenica? U kojem se smislu Mariju može smatrati Isusovom 'prvom i savršenom učenicom'? Na ta pitanja ovaj članak pokušava odgovoriti. U prvom su dijelu navedena novozavjetna svjedočanstva koja ne upotrebljavaju pojam 'učenica', ali predstavljaju Marijin stav koji odgovara stavu Isusovih učenika. U drugom dijelu riječ je o tome kako marijanski tekst Drugoga vatikanskog sabora i kasniji crkveni dokumenti preuzimaju patrističku temu Marijina stava Kristove učenice, koju ne poznaje tradicionalna mariologija. U završnom dijelu predstavljena je teološka dimenzija teme Marijina stava učenice i njezine primjene u pastoralu i približavanju Marijina lika današnjim vjernicima, što promiču i suvremene mariološke poruke.; Was Jesus’ Mother also his disciple? In what sense can Mary be considered Jesus’ first and perfect disciple? This article tries to answer these questions. The first part contains the New Testament testimonies that do not use the term “disciple” for Mary, but represent her attitude, which corresponds entirely to the attitude of Jesus’ disciples. The theme of the second part is how the Marian text of the Second Vatican Council and subsequent Church documents take on the patristic theme of Mary’s attitude as Christ’s disciple, a matter unknown to traditional Mariology. The final part exposes the theological dimensions of the theme of Mary’s attitude as a disciple and its application to pastoral care and bringing Mary’s image closer to today’s believers, which is advocated in recent Mariological studies.
