Woman is the Archetype of the Whole Human Race

Jan and Hubert van Eyck, The Virgin Mary, The Ghent Altarpiece, c. 1432

“Woman is the model and archetype of the whole human race. She reveals t all of us what it means to be human. Because to be human means to be open–to receive the Divine Gift, bear it forth, nurture it, and share it with the world. That’s the theology of a woman’s body” (Pope Saint John Paul II).
