A thought for the day:

 “Being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.”Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert.”

“The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience: what the virgin Eve bound through her disbelief, Mary loosened by her faith.” Comparing her with Eve, they call Mary “the Mother of the living” and frequently claim: “Death through Eve, life through Mary.

– St. Irenaeus
