God began a new era in world history when He intervened to reverse the effects of original sin, brought upon humanity by the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
He sent His angel to Mary, who through her obedience to God's word, brought forth Christ, who became our salvation. Within us, He imparts His righteousness so we die to sin and live Holy before God. What a wondrous work that began with the first disciple, Mary.
As an aside: This is the Patronal Feast Day of the United States. It seems fitting, as the founding of the US is regarded as a new era of liberty, for people came to this land in a "new world" to live in greater freedom. On this feast, we celebrate how a new measure of freedom came to humanity.
