Present From the Beginning

Mary

When the Father created the heavens and the earth, he saw a woman. When he created human life, he saw a woman. When the first sin was created, he saw a woman. All of his thoughts, desires, hopes, were focused on a woman. In this sense, I was there from the beginning of material creation. I was the door for his Son to enter and to live within this creation.

All things were made for the Son. To him would be the fullness of glory. The Father never saw his Son apart from the woman. This is the great mystery of the Word became flesh. That flesh would come totally from the woman. Every cell in Jesus’ body came from my body. No other human creature would participate in the mystery. Only my body would be immaculate, free of any taint of sin.

I reveal these secrets because so many set me aside. Even those who truly love me do not see my intimacy with the Father, or how I was there from the beginning.

Comment: Mary’s words help even those with great faith to see more deeply into the mystery.
