    FIRST READING  (Ezekiel , 12)

    The angel brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar.

    Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side.

    Going on eastward with a line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water; and it was ankle-deep.

    Then he says, &#;Behold, I come to do your will.&#;

    He takes away the first to establish the second.

    By this &#;will,&#; we have been consecrated

    through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    In choosing Mary to mother His child, God proved once more that He certainly does not see as man sees. He could have chosen the empress Livia, orprincess Herodias, or some other woman who had a better means of caring for the messiah. A woman endowed with good looks, with a sharp intellect, with political connections, or at least one with husband would have merited such a honor, but God instead selects Mary&#;even having prepared her for the role since her birth.

    For all her kindness and humility that wins the hearts of millions, Mary&#;s greatness still lies deeper. Mary does not simply take on the responsibility of being God&#;s mother, casting away all cares and taking the plunge into holy motherhood. If people imagine her as some foolish simpleton with as much s
