Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon wanted to take on a great challenge: to give back to Mary, mother of Jesus, all the colors that the gospels gave her, and that history has often forgotten. By relying on the most precise and faithful reading possible of the texts of the New Testament, by also revisiting the great female figures of the Old Testament who foreshadowed that of Mary, they restore a powerful, radiant, surprising, audacious female figure. Anne Soupa is a biblical scholar. She has published numerous books that mark her commitment to the Catholic Church, particularly her desire to give their place to women who have been too long excluded from the active and decisive heart of the institution. Sylvaine Landrivon is a theologian, she was a lecturer for a long time at the Catho de Lyon. She is also the author of works that look at Holy Scripture and the place of women in the Church and in society. Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon have boldly undertaken a revisitation of the figure of Mary, placed for too long on a pedestal so high that it has distanced her from who she really is. With great respect and delicacy, they methodically dust off the image of a woman who is self-effacing, passive and suffering. They intelligently and profoundly sketch the portrait of an embodied, vibrant and loving woman. With Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon, we discover a Mary stripped of excessive idolatry, we meet one of the greatest female figures in history, both universal and so close, so close to each of us... To read Mary, as you've never seen her, the book by Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon: https://www.laprocure.com/product/161... ________________________________ STELLA MARIS The episode posted online today, Mary as you've never seen her, is with deep joy that we are broadcasting it. For a long time, because we had a little trouble with this very important figure of Christianity, we spoke very little about Mary here. We found her too self-effacing, too formal, submissive and distant. She was perched too high on the pedestal that, over the centuries, had been raised for her. It was easier to talk about Mary Magdalene, who seemed so much closer to us, and whose figure is also so important… Last year, the highly listened-to episode with Denis Marquet, La voie de Marie, marked a change, which we continued by welcoming women like Cecilia Dutter and, more recently, Marie Balmary. With Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon, it is as if we were finally witnessing a real fireworks display. It illuminates the night of our ignorance about the true figure of Mary, and reveals her true colors, magnificent, sparkling, radiant. So many lights to illuminate our paths, at this time when the days continue to fade, when the shadows gain more and more. So much strength and gentleness at the same time. Those of a real and formidable woman, universal and close at the same time: a mother, and also, as Anne Soupa and Sylvaine Landrivon say so well, a sister for each of us. The night is drawing near, and the stars are speaking to us. They will soon reveal the birth of Jesus. In the meantime, we can light up with the twinkle of one of the most beautiful human stars: Stella Maris.
