Mary, Star of New Evangelization

Long, long time ago for almost 2000 years had passed, a new star of evangelization came into being. She is the shining glory of Divine Goodness. She was, is, and will be Blessed Virgin Mary. Was, because in the Old Testament she was prophesied by the genius of old. She was foretold that will crush the head of the serpent. She is the “Woman clothed with the Sun” because she is truly present in our time and space. Her power converting many sinful souls make the Holy Trinity to pour out Divine Mercies to all men on earth. Will, because Mary our Mother will be proclaimed Queen of all nations.

She will reign with her Son’s kingship in eternity. Jesus King of all Kings and Mary, the Queen of all angels and saints. What a blessing to all of us!

Why is Mary so great and privileged?

The One, Holy Trinity, Almighty had chosen Mother Mary to accomplish a great job. Her fiat resounds to all things perfecting God’s creation, mankind. She is the model of all, blessed among women of the past, present, and of the future. She deserved to be raised into the altar of victorious saints. Her Son in whom devils tremble loves her so very much! And that made Mary the star of the new evangelization.

She opened the gates of heavens and all windows of God’s mansions.

Her humanity moved the Father to send His Son into her womb. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus became man. What a beautiful love story in a mysterious way. However, it was a real story bringing all mankind to a most meaningful destiny-heavenly dwelling place.

Mary, the new star of evangelization paves the way of human family to a glorious state and all those who believe in her motherhood to Jesus will profess good faith. “Hail Mary full of grace,” Archangel Gabriel told her. This simply means heavenly being and earthly creature met, reconciling each in order to gain God’s eternal life. What a special scene in the salvation history.

In the long run, our Mother defeated the enemy of God. The devil was crushed on his head.

Our special love for Mary calls us to live happily ever after. Isn’t it nice? Isn’t it inspiring? She loved to please the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Third Person, her Husband guards and sanctifies those who love her and her Beloved Son. We are called to be one with them in the Holy Eucharist. Her presence in the churches tells us that she loves to live with her sons and daughters here on earth.

In summary, Mother Mary is not just a star of the new evangelization, she is also the NEW EVE who never says no to a mission she loves to do. Her fiat is Christ’s divine revelation to each one of us!

And in the end, she is the champion in God’s divine plan. (Joe Marie H. Cordero, MATRE)
