The coming of Jesus responds to the profound desire of God the Father of giving salvation to his people, so loved and so in need to know him. The best road was to give his Son that that the people may arrive to Him through Jesus.

To create this dream, he chose Mary, an exceptional human being, but after all a human being. Maria had dreams, ideas, history and limitations, as you and as I. However, she gave to God her complete humanity, and not only during the gestation of Jesus, but rather by what she did during her life, day by day. With the help of His mother, Jesus walked His first steps, perhaps she taught Him some prayer, healed His wounds after His games, finally, Jesus knew the world from the hand of Mary.

Maria assumed this responsibility knowing that she was only a human being but also trusted completely and without doubting that God that He would be her strength in each step of this mission. Therefore, she was in constant communion with Him through her prayer and faith life. This made her an exceptional, distinct human being.

Today, I invite you to think of this: Mary gave to God her absolute human trust and God realized wonders in her…therefore, What is it that God needs of your humanity? God needs that you give yourself to do His mission and those around you. He will be your strength as it was for Mary, and as with her will do marvels in you, only you need to have a heart disposed to hear Him.
