Virgin Mary

Is it too much to ask that in the center of every great story, there is a heroine, or, without a heroine, no great story is ever truly great?
Without Mary, would New Testament story be the same? Or, was it that, it did not really matter who it was, so long as mother to be was a virgin? Or, was Mary the only virgin available, at the time, in the whole of Israel? Or, was it by an act of random choice that fell upon Mary? Or was Mary specially intended from the very beginning to be His mother? In other words, was Mary conceived without sin?
“Good fruits come from only good trees.” God created Mary good so that she could be His mother.
In obedience, she presents Him, in flesh and blood, to the world. And in obedience, she participates in the story of sacrifice to redeem the world.
Though scantily mentioned in the New Testament, in a span of few centuries, she emerges as the feminine face of the church, as Mother to those who call her mother.
It would not be wrong to say that Mary is, indeed, the heroine of the story of human redemption through Christ.
