Mary is the burning bush that Moses saw [1] ( Ex 3, 1-4), which burns without being touched, the bush is his immaculate humanity, which makes the fire burn without burning it, is the fire of love Holy Spirit.
to its supernatural and glorified motherhood and femininity, she is the image and the representation of the Holy Spirit [2] . Similarly as in the Trinity the Holy Spirit is the bond of love between the Father and the Son, Mary is the bond of love between the Father and the Son made man. Being neither mother nor wife in the human sense of the words, but supernaturally, miraculously, Mary, and Holy Spirit in for the Holy Spirit is the bond of love between the Father and his Son made man [3] . In the Holy Spirit, the bond of love between the Father and the Son, flooded and filled by this divine spirit, pure and virginal, Mary becomes the bond of love between the Father and that His Son made man. Joins Virgin Mary, with its divine-human love, with his pure love of the Virgin Mother and the pure and chaste love of the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son came into the world as a child.
born without original sin through the merits of the Passion of her Son, Mary was full of grace, full of divine life, possessed in itself the purity of God and love His whole be, from its deepest roots, was filled by the Spirit of God, the divine light and love, so his femininity femininity was not a natural, equal to that of any woman, but a supernatural femininity, femininity and raised by Dignifying 'God's action in it and therefore Mary was the only worthy dwelling for the Incarnation of the Word.
For this supernatural femininity, Mary Immaculate is the Woman, in which all being is penetrated by the purity and the sweet scent of the divine nature, and therefore does not in itself any human desire, than to worship and love the mystery the eternal Word who took time from his birth in the womb become his Mother, the Mother of God
is truly the Mother of God for having created Mary the divine nature of the Word, since Word is the Divine Word by all eternity, if not for having created a human-nature made up of body and soul, assumed the unity of the Person of the Word, begotten, over time, according to his humanity, an eternal person, having the humanity and divinity [4] . It can be truly called the Mother of God that the Eternal Son of God made man, combining his person the human nature, was conceived in his humanity and was born in time from the human nature of Mary, and as the conception and birth of a person shall be assigned according to that nature in which it was conceived and born, we can say that Mary is the Mother of God [5] . It means that the miraculously begotten Son of Mary is the Son of God personally [6] , is God in the person of the Word.
In the most pure womb of Mary, is fulfilled then the most wonderful to work extra of the Trinity, the most fascinating mystery of all time, infinitely more grand and beautiful creation, a mystery before which there are no words to describe it in its majesty: the mystery of the Incarnation. She could only function appears to be the Mother of God, only his Immaculate womb could take on the infinite love of God, the Holy Spirit, who created the human body and soul to Jesus and joined the Word of God, according to the Father's will.
The Word, Almighty God, the Only Begotten of the Father, perfect as his Father for having received from him the most perfect divine nature, eternally generated by the Father, comes from the Father, and without ceasing to be what it is, namely, Holy God, comes down from his majesty of heaven to be incarnated in that heaven of majesty that is the womb of Mary. The Person of the Son of the Father, guided by the Father, led by the Spirit of Love, the Holy Spirit, without leaving his divine and eternal Being, without leaving his divine nature, it is small enough to nest in a pile of human cells and starts, He, the Person of the Only Begotten Son, the Lord, the elusive, his human life to accomplish his paschal mystery, his Passion and Resurrection.
The Only Begotten of the Father leaves his eternal paradise that is to love his Father with the love of the Holy Spirit, to another nest in paradise, the smaller but no less joyful for Him, love and maternal womb of the Virgin Immaculate Conception, the only place where it could happen this wonderful work of the Trinity. The Lord entered the temple, the invisible becomes visible, the Almighty becomes weak, the Lord God is the virginal conception of man as a child.
accepting the divine Person of the Word of God, eternally generated, which has assumed a human body and human soul [7] , and giving you its substance, of his flesh, that the invisible is made visible, so the mystery hidden from eternity in God is manifested to men, becomes the Virgin Mary Mother of God [8] , the "Mother of Love Beautiful" [9] .
Finally, the divine maternity of Mary comes to us in time for his son continues to be developed in every mass in the bosom of the Church, following the model of her divine motherhood. Her divine maternity is the model and basis for the design and the spiritual birth of Christ in the Church through the priesthood in the same way as Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit conceived the Son of God and He sent down from heaven to give the its visible form, so the priest, through the power of the Holy Spirit conceived the Son of God made man and laid him in the womb of the Church in the Eucharistic species [10] .
begin this new year in the light of the divine motherhood of Mary, to you, our Mother, we ask for protection, to her Immaculate Heart we consecrate and dedicate himself to us all of our families and the whole world, so that she may transform our hearts in his heart, a heart transformed and illuminated by the divine radiance of Christ in the Eucharist, the Heart, as the bush burning, burning eternally, without being burned, with the divine fire of the Holy Spirit.

[7] In 451, the Council of Chalcedon, against those who admit only one nature in Christ, the divine, the human being absorbed as from God, called Christ "is perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, truly God and truly man, composed of rational soul and body, consubstantial with the Father according to his divinity, consubstantial with us according to humanity before the ages generated according the divinity of the Father, in recent times according to the humanity generated by the Virgin Mary, Mother of God for us and for our salvation "(Denzinger, 148). This defiinizione was then taken up in 680 by the Second Council of Constantinople: "Mary is truly and properly the Mother of God in humanity", the two natures in Christ are "confused, inconvertibiliter, inseparabiliter, undivided" (Denzinger, 290).
