“God so loved the world that He gave His Son. This was the first Eucharist: the gift of His Son, when He gave Him to Our Lady, establishing in her the first altar. Mary was, from that instant on, the only one who was able to confirm with complete sincerity, This is my body. She offered her body, her strength, her whole being, to form the body of Christ. It was on her that the power of the Holy Spirit rested and in her that the Word became flesh. Mary gave herself to Him completely because she had previously consecrated herself to Him . . .” – Blessed Theresa of

The Word Became Flesh and Dwelt Among Us
Christmas is an awesome time of year to reflect on Jesus, God's Word Made Flesh and Mary's role in our salvation. I received an email today with this quote. It says it all.
“God so loved the world that He gave His Son. This was the first Eucharist: the gift of His Son, when He gave Him to Our Lady, establishing in her the first altar. Mary was, from that instant on, the only one who was able to confirm with complete sincerity, This is my body. She offered her body, her strength, her whole being, to form the body of Christ. It was on her that the power of the Holy Spirit rested and in her that the Word became flesh. Mary gave herself to Him completely because she had previously consecrated herself to Him . . .” – Blessed Theresa ofCalcutta
Have a blessed Advent. Peace.
