Mother Mary In My Humble Opinion is The "Yes Woman Of God".
If It was not for Her Yes, We would never have a Benevolent Savior Namely Jesus Christ.
“To celebrate Advent means: to become Marian, to enter into that communion with Mary’s ‘Yes,’ which, ever anew, is room for God’s birth, for the ‘fullness of time,’” said Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Advent is a Marian time in many ways, from preparing for Jesus’ birth to celebrating Feasts such as the Immaculate Conception.
In his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae (The Most Holy Rosary), St. John Paul II wrote, “Among creatures, no one knows Christ better than Mary; no one can introduce us to a profound knowledge of his mystery better than his Mother.”
It’s inconceivable to celebrate Advent without the woman who makes it possible — the Mother.
“Our Lady in Advent goes to the whole root of what Advent is celebrating — the coming of Jesus,”
“To quote St. Teresa of Calcutta: ‘No Mary, no Jesus.’”
Even though we’re so familiar with Mary being Jesus’ mother, It's “a wonderment of nature that a creature gave birth to her Creator.
There still should be awe in the fact.”
Quoting St. John Paul II, explaining, “It was God himself, the Eternal Father, who entrusted himself to the Virgin of Nazareth, giving her his own Son in the mystery of the Incarnation.”
“So who better to grace us with the ability to say once again the ‘Yes’ in our hearts for the coming of this Savior in the season of Advent.
