Jesus' mother was created without sin. A pure vessel through which God the Son came into the world. Like Eve, she was a virgin, and like Eve, she was without original sin, but unlike Eve, she said, "Yes" to God. (Luke 1:26-38) She agreed to be the mother of God the Son, and she corrected the fault of Eve. Â
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is the Word. He took on flesh to reveal God to us. (John1:1-4,14) At the Last Supper, He told His Apostles, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." The Father was revealed through His Son, Jesus Christ. (John 14:7-11) But Jesus was also the Son of Man, the Son of Mary, who like her Son, always sought to do the Father's will. Â
During the month of May, Christ's Church honors Mary the mother of Jesus, and through the New Covenant received at Mass, she is our mother too. (John 19:26-27) (Rev.12:17) Thank you, Mary for your "Yes" to God so that we also can have hope of eternal life.
