"Mary is the answer created in history to the fact that our nature is desire for happiness, that our life is desire for truth. Mary conceived in her womb the mystery of God made flesh, made man to live the life of all people and end His life the way all human lives end: with death. Incarnating Himself in Mary, God says: 'I will bring to fulfillment your desire for happiness; your desire for truth, justice and completeness will come to completion. I will make Myself your companion so this may come to pass.'
"The Lord, becoming man in Our Lady’s womb, coming into the world to save the world, underlines that the original relationship of the Mystery with His creature, whatever the condition in which life must be lived, is tenderness. 'No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends' (John 15:13); there is no greater sacrifice than to lay down your life for the work of another, and the other, in this case, is each of us as realization of our own destiny.
"God’s tenderness brings with it the announcement of the positivity of all things: 'Even all the hairs of your head are counted'" (Matthew 10:30).
