You Were Never Taught Mary’s Role at the Final Judgment

From Totus Catholica

I Analyzed Mary's Role at the Final Judgment... The Patristic Consensus Do you believe Mary will be standing beside Christ at the final judgment? Some Catholics claim that when our Lord returns in glory to judge the living and the dead, His mother will sit at His right hand as Queen, interceding for souls at that ultimate moment. Others say this goes too far beyond what Scripture and tradition teach. So what did the early Church Fathers actually say about Mary's role in the last judgment? The answer might surprise you because it requires us to distinguish between what the Fathers taught and what later devotional writers added.truthunites+2​ 📌 The patristic consensus reveals not a picture of Mary as co‑judge, but as ever‑interceding Mother and Advocate who brings souls to her Son. The Catechism teaches that Mary's "motherhood in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect," but this describes ongoing intercession, not a shared judicial office. Christ alone is Judge of the living and the dead, as the Nicene Creed proclaims. Mary's role is powerful, maternal, and intercessory—but always dependent on Christ's unique mediation.catholicworldreport+1​ ✨ What You'll Discover – The confusion: mixing Mary's ongoing intercession with a specific judicial function at Christ's second coming – What the Catechism actually teaches about Mary's "motherhood in the order of grace" and her intercession – The patristic emphasis on Mary as New Eve, Queen Mother, and Advocate—not co‑judge – How early Fathers like St. Athanasius portrayed Mary leading souls to the judgment throne – Why the title "Mediatrix" does not obscure Christ's unique mediation but participates in it – Protestant objections and how the communion of saints answers them – Three truths from the patristic consensus on Mary and the Final Judgment ⏳ Chapters 0:00 – Will Mary Be Seated Beside Christ at the Final Judgment? 0:42 – The Confusion: Intercession vs. Judicial Authority 2:03 – What the Early Church Fathers Actually Wrote 4:46 – Mary's Eschatological Role: Intercessor, Not Judge 6:26 – Responding to Objections: Mediatrix and the Communion of Saints 8:06 – The Patristic Consensus: Three Truths 🌐 Stay Connected 📿 Daily Holy Hour – https://totuscatholica.org/rosary 🌍 Website – https://totuscatholica.org ✉️ Contact me – https://totuscatholica.org/contact 🔍 Examination of Conscience – https://catholicexaminationofconscien... 📖 Key Teaching & References – CCC 963, 969: Mary's motherhood in the order of grace and her titles (Advocate, Mediatrix, Helper) – 1 Timothy 2;5: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" – John 19;26–27: Jesus entrusts His mother to the beloved disciple, establishing her spiritual motherhood – The Nicene Creed: "He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead" – St. Justin Martyr, St. Irenaeus: Mary as New Eve, reversing Eve's disobedience through obedience – St. Athanasius: Mary as advocate who leads souls to the judgment throne – St. Romanos the Singer: Mary as mediatrix before her Son, not co‑judge with Him – Marialis Cultus and recent Vatican documents on Mary's proper role – The Queen Mother in the Davidic kingdom: biblical model for Mary's intercessory queenship 💬 Reflection Question When you think of Mary at the Final Judgment, do you imagine her judging alongside Christ—or interceding for you as a loving Mother who brings you to her Son's merciful throne?
