What help is it to me that Mary is full of grace, if I am not also full of grace? And what help is it to me that the Father gives birth to his Son unless I, too, give birth to him?
It is for this reason that God gives birth to his Son and lies in the maternity bed so that he can give birth to him again in all his works.
