And she did so out of Free Will.
Her whole life she was obediant by choice.
I don’t think some folks get how as a woman and a mother we bond with Mary and look to her as a mentor/hero.
When ever I feel the suffering heart as a Mom of a severly disabled son and the stuff he endures without complaint, I think of Mary at the foot of the Cross.
The pain of a Mom’s soul but the joy of a woman faithful to God and then I don’t feel so burdened in pain.
I have found that my relationship with Mary has strengthened my human feelings and relationship with the Lord.
When I began my quest years ago for personal peace in my soul it led my to Mary and eventually (4yrs it took) to coming home to my Catholic faith.
I have always perservered in building my personal relationship with our Lord and Letting Go, Letting God most of my adult life but I was led by our Mother to put it together in mind/soul and taking the human move of going to Adult CC/Confirmation (I quit/rebelled against my Catholic faith in 7th grade) It is what works for KV and I.
May God bless you and your family with every joy imaginable for eternity.
