Abstract

This article builds on the brief mentions of Mary in the final Synod document, “For a Synodal Church,” published in 2024. While the document notes very generally the ways Mary exhibits synodality, these claims are not fleshed out. In examining both Scripture and Tradition for examples of how Mary does embody and exemplify the concept of synodality, this article hopes to present a practical and relatable image of Mary that also challenges the reader to envision ways that they can contribute in making the Church more synodal. This article will present Mary as a model of synodality through looking at how she is an active listener, accompanies those who are on the margins, and engage in “power with”relations.
