The Christianity that is the reason for our being, for our lives is founded on the human life of God on Earth. This final revelation of the Evergreater is unseperable from the true man Jesus who was  born not created. By the power of the Holy Spirit Mary conceived and Jesus was begotten not made.The life of Jesus is unseperable from his Mother who was with him at birth and death in earthly time and is with him still, for although she experienced great sorrow in her life she was spared the pangs of death and taken bodily up to Heaven.

We have been condemned as a Church for treating Mary as if she were God but in fact although she has the titles Theotoksos and Coredemptrix, I have always been taught that Mary is not divine but is the greatest of all beings created by Father Son and Holy Spirit. 

Sin is always lack of obedience. Jesus, the Word made flesh, humbled himself and allowed our sins to heap humiliation upon him. Naked, spat upon, scoffed at he hung on the cross in complete obedience to the will of God. This act of God in human time can never be equalled but Mary comes close to it in that her"fiat" is an inseperable part of God's loving plan for mankind through which we are still livng. We call our obedience to this plan "Christianity".

May the words of today's reading inspire us by strengthening our willing obedience to God knowing well that Mary and all the saints in the full presence of Father, Son and Holy Spirit never cease  to plead for us who are now living out our human lives in the temptation that they by the Grace of Calvary were able to resist. May Mary bring comfort to  the grieving and to all the children whose first taste of life is sorrow and suffering.
