Just as Eve brought death into the world through her fall and through her succumbing to Satan, so too Mary becomes the new Eve who brings life into the world through her ‘yes’ to God. This imagery of Mary as the new Eve goes all the way back to the Old Testament: she is the new woman, who will overcome the serpent through her ‘yes’ to God and through the coming of her Son, the Messiah. |
