How tragic that so many fail to realize the gift Mary gave to the world.
Some may contend that it is the gift of Christ that was given to Mary (and us all ) as opposed to the gife Mary gave to mankind. Semantics, I fully realize, but I believe it to be God’s gift.
She could have said no, but didn’t. Of all of mankind SHE said yes. She participated in God’s gift in a way you and I never will. To that we owe her our gratitude. I don’t think it’s too much to say that this was HER gift to mankind. She nourished Him in her womb, she nourished Him in his life raising the child of God. He was born of her.
Don’t be so quick to belittle that in Mary. God chose to have her participate.......you insult God as well to do so.
