Now Mary Said (II)

Now Mary said: "You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said." A humble Mary is part of the new creation: "You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said." For her faith, she was exalted by God Himself. She believed in the new life that would come from the "dead" womb of Elizabeth, of whom Sara, the wife of Abraham, was a previous figure. Mary believed unconditionally in the possibility of motherhood sprung from a virginal womb. And on Good Friday, she kept relying unshakably in the divine possibilities of Jesus, who lay dead on her lap, but who would three days later resurrect from the dead. All that mankind may achieve in technological advances proceeds from this new creation in Jesus, who is the source of all wisdom and science. But still this is just a shadow of the unlimited possibilities, which God has laid down in His creation. Simply by believing, one can experience: "Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard what God has prepared for those who love him."
