VIRGO PRAEDICANDA, MULIER VENERANDA, MATER AMATA!
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God January 1, 2011
Readings: Nm 6:22-27 / Gal 4:4-7 / Lk 2:16-21
You got to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. You got to take seriously what Scripture says. You got to be non-selective for once, and take to heart what the Archangel himself says to this woman, blessed among all women: “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
Maria … virgo praedicanda! Mary, the virgin who shocked the world by giving birth, has to be proclaimed. This is news that made it to the headlines of the world at that time that sent shock waves all over Jerusalem!
This is the news that sent shivers down the spine of the evil one, long foretold in Genesis as the woman who will strike the serpent with her heels! This is the virgin that defied all worldly logic and, contrary to her feelings of fear and trepidation, threw all caution to the winds and replied with a resounding “FIAT!”
This virgin defied not only earthly, worldly logic. She defied what now everybody seem…
