Theotokos

Mosaïque de la basilique Sainte-Sophie, à Constantinople/Istanbul, au dessus du choeur; Marie Theotokos.

Le titre de Théotokos (du grec Θεοτόκος, « qui a enfanté Dieu »), attribué à Marie, apparaît sous la plume d’Alexandre d’Alexandrie en 325, l’année du Premier concile de Nicée ; ensuite, longtemps avant celui d'Éphèse (431), il est très fréquent. Dans l'Église latine, le titre de Mère de Dieu est parfois rendu par deipare.

That Day Pope Francis Knew He Would Be A Priest

The future Pope Francis recalls one day, while a student of chemistry at an industrial college..."It was September 21 – I always remember this – I went out for a walk with some friends and I passed the Iglesia de Flores. I went inside the church, I entered, I felt that I had to enter, there are things that you feel inside and you don’t really know what they are. I looked and it was dark, a September morning, and I saw a priest coming. I didn’t know him, he wasn’t from that church, and then he sat down in the last confessional, on the left, facing the alter, and then I don’t know what happened to me.”

Bergoglio continued: “I felt like somebody grabbed me from inside and took me to the confessional. I’m not sure what happened there, clearly I must have confessed, but I don’t know what happened, and when I finished confessing, I asked the priest where he was from, because I didn’t know him,” the future Pope recalled. “He said ‘I’m from Corrientes (an Argentine city near the border with Paraguay), and I am living near here, in the rectory, and I am going to lead mass here occasionally.’"

Bergoglio recalled that the priest was suffering from leukemia, and died the following year. "While I was there I felt that I had to become a priest, and I didn’t doubt it,” Bergoglio remembered.
