The "woman" in that passage is not Mary..like so much of Revelation is is symbolic Really?
The woman represents both Israel/the Church and Mary.

Yes, quite correct. Mary has the 12 apostles in her headdress for Mary is the Church. And the sun and the moon under her domain, for she created them. She's the Word, the Ark of the New Covenant.

Mary is mediatrix and has the power to grant all graces.Mary is the advocate for the people of God and has the authority to influence God's judgments.
Would you please give me your intreprations of these two parts of the petition. I ask because they were intreprated yesterday for me by another catholic on a different thread, and I would be interested if other catholics saw it the same way. Thanks.

The woman represents both Israel/the Church and Mary. So then is the ark Israel...the Church and Mary?
