Mary to Eve

January 5, 2009

Thanks to Internetmonk for this one, who got it from Inside Catholic. What a powerful and whimsical image.  What an appropriate image just after Advent!  There is a poem that goes with it as well.

p.s. – I do not think it needs to imply that we lay all the blame on Eve’s feet (not least since it’s mythological!), we can see it as fulfillment and restoration of what Eve witnessed and even of what she participated in.  My OT professor had a great femenist reading of this second creation story.

    Eve said “No” to God. Mary said “Yes.” And me? I endeavor to say “Yes” to Him every day. And I succeed, mostly! I wrote about the way Mary challenges me in my post “Mary’s ‘Yes’.” She continues to haunt me in what she encountered to say “Yes” to God.
