Quote of the day, 15 August: St. Edith Stein

Mary stands at the crucial point of human history and especially at the crucial point of the history of woman; in her, motherhood was transfigured and physical maternity surmounted. Just as the goal of all human education is presented to us in a concrete, vital, and personal way through Christ, so also the goal of all women’s education is presented to us through Mary.

The most significant evidence of the eternal meaning and value to be found in sexual differentiation lies in the fact that the new Eve stands beside the new Adam on the threshold between the Old and the New Covenants. God chose as the instrument for His Incarnation a human mother, and in her He presented the perfect image of a mother. From the time that she learns she is to bear a son she is completely at the service of this mission. He is given to her by God and in fidelity to God she must look after Him. Her existence until the hour of His birth is one of composed expectancy; then in a life fully surrendered to service, she takes careful note of all words and signs which anticipate something of His future course. With all reverence for the divinity hidden in Him, she still maintains authority over Him when He is a child; in true perseverance, she participates in His work until His death and beyond it.

But before the annunciation of her election, this woman called to the most exalted maternity had not wanted marriage and motherhood for herself; and this was against every tradition of her people. She was determined to live free of marital obligations.

As handmaid of the Lord, she bore God’s Son and was mindful of the man placed at her side for the protection of her child and herself. She did not become one flesh with him; this marriage was not meant to propagate his heirs or to carry on the human race.

In Mary we meet the image of virginal purity. What else could have induced her decision to remain a virgin than her desire to be wholly the handmaid of the Lord, to belong only to Him and to be at His command? And how could such longing in a person be explained otherwise than through divine inspiration and vocation?

And thereby, as co-redeemer by the side of the Redeemer, she emerges from the natural order. Both mother and Son spring from the human race, and both embody human nature; yet, both are free from that relationship which makes possible the fulfillment of life’s meaning only in union with and through another person. Union with God replaces this relationship in both; in Christ through the hypostatic union, in Mary through the surrender of her whole being to the Lord’s service.

Everton today every time Newcastle scored.

#NEWEVE #MastodonFC #FediFC

Amazing save by Jordan Pickford at the end of the game to keep all three points.

It’s impossible to overstate how critical he has been for us.

#NEWEVE #MastodonFC #FediFC

Thierno Barry now leads the league in goals scored by a butt.

#NEWEVE #MastodonFC #FediFC

3-2 #EFC .

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Spectacular header by Branthwaite for the opener.

Bright start by the lads today.

#NEWEVE #MastodonFC #FediFC

#NUFC 0-1 #EFC

Garnes curls an in-swinging corner into the box, Tonali tries to push Branthwaite in the back, but the #EFC defender gets a great glancing header on the ball & it goes in off the far post.

Better to be lucky than good as they say!!

#HWTL #NUFC #NEWEVE

Jordan Pickford comes up huge again for Everton.

#NEWEVE #MastodonFC #NSNO

Newcastle 0-1 Everton! 😱

Carlos Alcaraz's goal means Newcastle would currently miss out on Champions League football next season...

#NEWEVE

Alcaraz with a headed opener to put Everton ahead.

Like this kid a lot - how there is any hesitation about exercising the £15m option to buy him from Flamengo is beyond me.

#NEWEVE #NSNO #MastodonFC

A huge goal at St James' Park.

Carlos Alcaraz's header has given Everton the lead against Newcastle United.

That means Eddie Howe's side slip out of the top five, with Aston Villa replacing them...

#PLFinalDay | #NUFC | #NEWEVE

We don't deserve UCL on if this is how it ends.

Hopefully we can pull it out the bag.

#NUFC #NEWEVE

I knew this would happen but the kit is growing on me seeing the players in it.

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Urrrgh this is horrible

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Not surprised to see one of them coming off. I wonder if we'll ditch the back 3 and go to 4.

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Not great, not awful. Need to up it second half.

Murphy has been quite poor along with Gordon and Barnes.

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Counting down the seconds till 3pm

#NUFC #NEWEVE

Calvert-Lewin’s composure, Pickford’s defiance and an old head on Young shoulders bring #EFC a welcome point. Report from St James’ Park. #NEWEVE

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his first Premier League goal since October, ending a run of 18 matches and 41 shots in the competition before scoring against Newcastle United.

Alexander Isak scored his 25th Premier League goal this evening.

Can you name the two Swedish players to have scored more than him in the competition?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's late penalty saves a point on the road for @[email protected] 🎯

#NEWEVE

Everton's draw with Newcastle United means they are now winless in their last 13 league games.

The last time they went on a run that long was between October & December in 1957...

#NEWEVE | #EFC

For the first time in 24 games, since scoring against West Ham United in October, Dominic Calvert-Lewin finds the back of the net.

#NEWEVE | #EFC

Penalty to @[email protected]...

... and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scores it! Martin Dubravka gets a strong hand on it but can't keep it out!

#NEWEVE

Fuck, it is a pen, but that's never enough for a VAR check!!
