"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word." This is the fiat of Mary, pronounced in the name of all humanity. Without her we would not have Jesus; we would not have our Brother, our Friend, our Savior. The loving abandonment of Mary is at the origin of our Redemption.
--Father Jean C.J. d'Elbee in I Believe in Love
Amazing. Simply amazing.
