ABSTRACT
The article refers to the words of Saint Augustine that Mary is the “Mother of unity in the many”. From a Catholic perspective, it aims to show the role of the Mother of God in the life of faith of non-Catholic Christians. It analyzes the main Marian motifs found in Eastern Christianity and in Protestantism. These considerations can help Catholics to deepen their experience of the light of ecumenical inspirations that do not oppose the Catholic faith.
