Chart comparing Mary to Eve

The Fall The Redemption
The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Gen. 2:18) “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. (Luke 1:38) a servant is a helper
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called’Woman’, because she was taken out of Man…(Gen. 2:23) And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.” (John 2:4) “woman” is an odd title for his Mother, and unusual for the day, Catholics think there was a reason Jesus used that word
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. (Gen. 2:22) Eve came out of Adam But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5)Jesus,the new Adam (1 Cor 15:22) came out of Mary (the new Eve)
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Gen.3:1) his mother said to the servants,”Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) on one level she is amending the disobedience of Eve
Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Gen. 3:13) And Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:38) Mary’s obedience vs. Eve’s disobedience
Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Gen. 3:20) When Jesus then saw his mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then He said to the disciple,”Behold, your mother!” (John 19:26-27) Catholics believe at that moment Mary was given as mother to all Christians. (As per Rev 19:26, explained below)
