Many of the traditions practiced within the Catholic
faith—from the priesthood to the burning of incense—can be found by tracing
their roots back to the Jewish faith.
Marian virtues are also deeply rooted in the lives of the women
of the Old Testament.
Just as God planted the seeds of preparation for Christ, so,
too, did he plant the seeds for the preparation of Mary.
In the Old Testament
we witness the commitment and deep faith of women who pre-figure Mary in
profound ways. Women whose lives also provide role models for the way we are
all called to live as Catholics.
