We have often heard that the Church Fathers call Mary the New Eve (Christ the New Adam), and how by her obedience at the Ave, she undid the disobedience of Eva. Let us reflect more profoundly on how this 'role reversal' is accomplished. God restores creation according to His plan from the foundation of the world! Yet weakness, humility, complete dependence on God, and profound sorrow all play indispensable roles in achieving this peak of glory. Note how sacrifice is necessary for the perfection of creation, [2] man's reparation can console Our Lady's sorrow, and (3) the simplest more direct way to achieve total dependence on God is by holy slavery to Christ living in Mary.
