Illustrious Mother of the Redeemer!
During Advent, which prepares us for the night of the birth of the Son of Man in Bethlehem, we ponder your mystery. This is the mystery of the Mother of God made man, "Chosen before the creation of world "to be the Mother of the Redeemer, you are redeemed in a special way by the work of your Son. You preserved the legacy of the first Adam, you are totally permeated by the legacy of Christ, are full of grace. Blessed are you, full of grace ... Blessed among all women.
OPEN sky ...".
You've become the door through which he entered into human history the kingdom of heaven. This kingdom was brought by a person who has done your Son, the Redeemer of the world. It took him obedience with the help of the new Eve, for thy obedience, the Virgin of Nazareth, angelic annunciation that you answered: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word" (Lk 1:38).
And so it really happened.
[Angelus, 8 December 1986]
