So beautifully said. I’m glad you are a Catholic too!
I love what my priest said yesterday speaking of how when God first created Adam and Eve it was day and sin brought the night. And, when God created Mary, she is the new dawn of the new day brought by Jesus, who ended the long night of death wrought by the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
This is a rather rough paraphrase of the sermon, but I think is the gist of what he was saying.
Well; isn't THAT interesting!!
Genesis 1:1-4
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
