If we then contemplate the Virgin of Nazareth in the halo of her prerogative and of her virtues, we will see her shine before our eyes as the "New Eve,"(39) the exalted daughter of Sion, the summit of the Old Testament and the dawn of the New, in which "the fullness of time"(40) was realized, which was preordained by God for the mission in the world of His only-begotten Son.
Si ergo humilem Nazarethanam Virginem spectamus, hoc genus proprietatum virtutumque luce renidentem, eam conspicimus veluti novam Evam (39), veluti excelsam Filiam Sion, Veteris culmen Novi que Foederis auroram, in qua illa facta est plenitudo temporis (40), a Deo Patre praestituta, ut Unigenitum Filium suum in hunc mundum mitteret.vatican.va vatican.va
