1st Friday of Advent - Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary

Luke 1:26-38




*Friends, today we celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The
Church Fathers consistently referred to Mary as the New Eve, which is to
say, the one who reversed the momentum started by the mother of the human
race. The Ave of the angel was seen as the reversal of Eva. While Eve
grasped at divinity, Mary said "Let it be done unto me."Here’s the
liberating paradox: passivity before objective values is precisely what
makes life wonderful. Allowing oneself to be invaded and rearranged by
objective value is what makes life worth living. And this applies
unsurpassably to our relationship with God. The message that your life is
not about you does indeed crush the false self that would bend the whole
world to its purposes, but it sets free the true self.The Immaculate
Conception itself is concealed in the privacy of salvation history, but the
effects of it are on clear display in this Gospel. In the presence of the
supreme value, we ought to say, along with Mary, "Be it done unto me!" *
