I thought that today I would touch on my/ our Blessed Mother as we begin to ready ourselves for the Christmas Season.

The link below the picture is an explanation of Marys life journey once The angel of God appeared to Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Do I think this happened, you bet your life!

Hail Mary

Because Mary was a human as are we God called upon her. The difference between Mary and me is that Mary was born very Holy and lived a very clean and loving life.

The virtues are identified as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence,patience, kindness, and humility. Practicing them is said to protect one against temptation from the seven deadly sins, each one having its counterpart. Due to this, they are sometimes referred to as the “contrary virtues”.

Thank God Mary was who she was and that she was in control of her free will choices. Thank God Mary was full of Faith and Love for her God. So God could call upon Mary for the most important job ever ! Being a Mother ! The Mother of our Lord and Savior!

Because My Blessed Mother said yes to God even though she did not know all the why’s This choice gave us all the chance to be redeemed and we now are given a chance to say Yes to God in our daily walk and to aspire to do Gods will and to effect a change in this world . We are the salt and light to eachother.

So I would say to each one of you women who are moms or are taking care of and teaching children, thank you! May you all guide your children as Mother Mary did.  With love and grace. Amen.

Purest Virgin Mary

God Bless You,
