Mary made it possible, through her choice, to bring salvation to all humankind. All people have hope because she said yes. God prepared her to say yes, but she had to act on it, just as salvation continues to unfold through Jesus Christ who loves us, and it is dependent on [our] choices, the choice to say yes to God’s plan, to God’s will, to God’s love.
Mary did. So can we.
