Our Lady: The New Eve vs the Original Eve

One of the ways the Church has considered and spoken about Our Lady is via a comparison. Mary has been referred to from ancient days as the New Eve. That is because St. Paul referred to Jesus as the second . . . or the New Adam. Whereas through the first Adam, death came into the world . . . the new Adam life comes to all of us.

When speak of Adam, naturally, one thinks of Eve. Just as the original eve participated in bringing death to the world . . . the New Eve participates in bringing life and salvation into the world. The comparisons continue within this conference.

The Church reflects on this meditation on this, the day of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The Meditation Media looks at Our Lady and Eve, through the specific lens of birth.
