The Blessed Virgin Mary is the “woman” of GOD
She is second Eve whose seed crushes Satan; Gen 3:15.
He became man by the Virgin, in order that the disobedience which proceeded from the serpent might receive its destruction in the same manner in which it derived its origin. For Eve, who was a virgin and undefiled, having conceived the word of the serpent, brought forth disobedience and death. But the Virgin Mary received faith and joy, when the angel Gabriel announced the good tidings to her that the Spirit of the Lord would come upon her, and the power of the Highest would overshadow her: wherefore also the Holy Thing begotten of her is the Son of God; and she replied, 'Be it unto me according to your word.' [Luke 1:38] And by her has He been born, to whom we have proved so many Scriptures refer, and by whom God destroys both the serpent and those angels and men who are like him; but works deliverance from death to those who repent of their wickedness and believe upon Him.
This was the faith of the Church in early 2c.
Correct, yet somehow this is ignored in the place of those who have not suffered like the Early Church did while they sit in comfort and create modern theology from mistranslated Bible's.
It tears at my heart sometimes when I read what some people say against Our Blessed Mother, yet I know She is loving them beyond their understanding
A day without Jesus and Mary in my life would be a day without oxygen.
From Saint Jerome..
“Even while living in the world, the heart of Mary was so filled with motherly tenderness and compassion for men that no-one ever suffered so much for their own pains, as Mary suffered for the pains of her children.” -Saint Jerome
