“To repair the damage done by our first parents, divine Mercy devised a ‘plan of revenge’ modeled so to speak, on the plan of our defeat. God willed that at the side of the New Adam there should be a ‘New Eve,’ Mary. Just as a fallen angel, disguised as a serpent, suggested disobedience to the first Eve, so the good angel, Gabriel, asked obedience of Mary.”

-Emil Neubert, SM, STD

What does this quote reveal to you about the role of obedience in your call
to imitate Mary?
