Each person holds a part of human history in their hands but only the Father holds all of history. He allows the human person to defy Him and to walk sinful paths. He tolerates violence and wars and so many evils.
A moment comes, however, when He must intervene. He acts quickly and decisively, directly and often painfully, purifying, chastising, crushing the evil and startling the world. Even so, many do not see. So, this time, He sends the Woman to prepare the world, to comfort her children, and to strengthen those who are fearful.
