All love tends to become like that which it loves. God loved man; therefore, he became man. For nine months [Mary's] own body was the natural Eucharist, in which God shared communion with human life, thus preparing for that greater Eucharist, when human life would commune with the Divine. Mary’s joy was to form Christ in her own body; her joy now is to form Christ in our souls.
--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
