Like a surprising new dawn, Mary will rise in the West, bringing lights which Jesus gave her for this moment. When people experience her lights, many will think she is divine. Really, she is God’s perfect mirror, and the perfect treasurer of His gifts. None of God’s graces are lost or diminished as they pass through her womb. Even Mary cannot grasp this mystery. God has fashioned a creature who can transmit His gifts without limiting or destroying them. Let us worship this mystery of God’s powers.
