What do Roman Catholics mean when they say Our Lady?
AndrewSavagefb5608
All Catholics, not just Latin Rite Catholics, render dulia to the saints and angels. Dulia is the Latin word for the reverence of a disciple for his master or a servant his lord. In the Church it is used for the reverence due to the angels and saints as friends of God. Hyperdulia, on the other hand, is the special reverence due to the Mother of God. Lady in English refers to a woman of superior position especially one of noble birth. No woman in history has been more noble, or of a more superior position then the Mother of God. Thus the dulia rendered to her is the highest possible dulia, and thus known as hyperdulia. Please understand that dulia and hyperdulia are still reverence to creatures of God due to their conforming to His Will. The adoration due to God alone is known as latia, which is infinitely above dulia, even hyperdulia. She is "our" Lady because in St. John, Our Blessed Lord gave her to all of us from the cross John 19:26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!†27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!†And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
