In this homily, we explore the profound spiritual significance of Mary in the Christian faith. From the story of Adam and Eve to God’s preservation of Mary for the sake of Jesus, we consider how her humanity provides a model for us all. Despite our fallen nature, God’s grace offers us a path to redemption—a journey that Mary herself can guide us on.
Drawing on the insights of Father Wilfrid Stinissen and other theologians, we reflect on how Mary prepared the way for Jesus and how we, too, are drawn toward grace by God’s love. Through her example, we learn to embrace our struggles, accept divine mercy, and find the courage to say “yes” to God’s will in our own lives.
As we navigate our spiritual journeys, Mary, fully human yet uniquely preserved by God’s grace, teaches us how to approach Jesus with greater trust and love. Let her motherly wisdom enrich your faith and draw you closer to the heart of Christ.
