Day 15 : Mother of Our Savior

 


One of the most obvious to be understood titles of Our Lady is Mother of Our Savior.  The Protestants. and other heretics, would have you think that Our Lady's role left when our Lord became independent, but this ignores both the old and new testaments.  Her dignity as mother came because God the Father knew in advance that He would make a New Eve for His only son, that by her free will in cooperation with the graces given to her, she would teach to the world the commands that brought about the beginning of Christ's public ministry, "Do whatever he tells you."  Her humility brought forth Salvation through her son,  and crushes the head of the serpent.  We need not fear to approach Christ if we go through his Mother, who will intercede on our behalf.  But let us not forget the dignity owed to her by this role in the history of man and the means through which the Redeemer comes:  Mother of Our Savior.
