Since the Treasury

has a bit of overlap due to its unique way of treating the time of Easter, I went back tonight to read what it had in the "Time of Easter Addition" for the Feast of the Visitation and was delighted to discover St. Irenaeus!

"And thus also it was that the knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary. For what the virgin Eve bound fast through unbelief, this did the Virgin Mary set free through faith."

Amen!

For those of us following along at home, can you direct us to a page number in the Treasury?

Sure! You can find it on pages 1299, 1300.
