"This is the great mystery of the Gospel; of how a God beyond time could and even would step into our history to take on human flesh, to be born of a nobody girl from a nothing city so He might claim the prophetic throne of a distant ancestor and then die for the sins of all humanity... As spoken by Paul to the Galatians, “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” This is the hope that we maintain, like Mary, through faith, even 2000 years since this encounter occurred.
