I found this article on the Universalis website today. It is entitled "What if she had said no?", (click on this article to read it) referring to Mary of course. It raises an interesting question that I had never considered before. It had never occurred to me that she had a choice, but if you think about it, she did, just as all of us have a choice. God gave us freewill.
This article really puts into perspective why we place Mary on such a high pedestal.
I wish that I would have found this prior to March 25th, which is the Feast of the Annunciation. It's neat to be able to celebrate these important events that took place so long ago. An understanding of the events makes them so much more special. To think that before I converted I never thought of these things or celebrated these events makes me sad and grateful at the same time. I am so grateful to have been enlightened and yet very sad at the same time that I had been so ignorant.
Dear Young Lady,
ReplyDeleteMay God's grace continue to be with you. May God bless all who prayed, both known and unknown to you, for your conversion.
I like your blog. It shows honesty and a hunger for spiritual food. When Christ met the woman at the well, He was hungering for spiritual food; the apostles had just gone into town to find something to eat. They did not yet understand His hunger.She gave Him spiritual food. She was the first apostle.

Mary would have never said no to God. Her whole life was one big yes to Him. Many of us say no to our Lord everyday. That is how a question such as the one posed even gets thought of. I hope the sermons of the good padres on my website help you to learn that which may bring you closer to our Lord. And when you do get close, please remember those who are in most need of His mercy. Put in a good word for them.
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee! I beg pardon for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee.
May God our Lord in his infinite and supreme goodness be pleased to give us his abundant grace, that we may know his most holy will, and entirely fulfill it.
