[Desdemona]

I have to get up in the morning, so this is it for me this evening, but put this quote in context and it says something else.

Mary was with the program from the beginning. At the Annunciation, she said, "Let it be done to me according to thy word." That is what God - Father, Son and Holy Ghost - ask of us. She is our example of motherly humility. Her son did not have to tell her anything. She knew it from the beginning. See the Magnificat.

She was more blessed than any woman because she had the honor of Mothering the Son of God. She was also chosen because she had honored God and was a virgin which was a requirement for Jesus' birth.

If she had failed in this area, we would all be in trouble because God would have had to find another virgin from the line of Nathan/ David for prophecy sake (blood line of David). Then God would have had to arrange to have a man like Joseph, who was of the line of Solomon/ David to adopt Jesus (There was a blood curse placed on Solomons line, which would have tainted Jesus' royalty if He weren't adopted).

Mary was faithful, and for that I bless her!

For context sake:

Jhn 2:2-4
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
