Who thinks themselves or their spouses worthy to have the Holy Spirit overshadow them and give birth to the Son of God? Who thinks themselves worthy to be the parent of the Son of God?

It was THROUGH Mary that Christ was introduced to the world. One can settle on the 3 years that the apostles were with him or one can allow the depth of love his Mother shows us through the 33 yrs she shared with Jesus and every day since. Do you think Mary would have asked and done the silly things/questions that the apostles did? Deny him 3 times, go into hiding at his crucifixion, etc.?

It’s not by accident that the holiest of Saints throughout the ages have had a deep devotion to Our sweet Mother. It’s not by accident that the graces that are showered out when we allow Mary to guide us to her Son through her eyes and heart are unquestionably blessed. God’s ways are not our ways.

Here’s a bold idea...pray on it and see where the Holy Spirit leads you.

God Bless

None of us should think ourselves worthy of any favorable treatment by God. That includes Mary. In her Magnificat, she speaks of her humility and the great things that God has done to her. She would be the first to say that she is unworthy. You see, all favorable action by God toward any human, whether it is being given the privilege of bearing the Son of God, being granted salvation, being indwelt with the Holy spirit, being Sanctified, being assigned works to further the Kingdom, etc. etc. are independent of our worthiness! And that is indeed fortunate, because none of us is worthy!

It's interesting that as I was exposed to Scripture and my prayer life deepened 20 years ago, the H.S. led me away from the Catholic Church. The more I mature as a Christian, the more clear the heresies of Catholicism become.
