Quote for today - Celebrating the Immaculate Heart of Mary - June 10, 2010
"Eve sought the fruit,
but did not find there
what she wished for.
In her fruit
the Blessed Virgin found
all that Eve had wanted."
St. Thomas Aquinas [1225-1274], in Exposition of the Hail Mary, 13th century.
Painting on top by an unknown artist. It's entitled, "Virgin Mary - Undoer of Knots". It has been in the church of St. Peter in Perlack, Germany since 1700. The literature on this image of Mary says, "It was originally inspired by a meditation of St. Ireneus - based on the comparison between Eve and Mary." An added text based on the words of Ireneus could be: "Eve, by her disobedience tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; Mary, full of Grace, by her obedience, untied it for the human race."
