It’s tedious because plain scripture is discarded while typology is misused. I need to continually love Christ more. I have no need to grow in love for Mary.
Plain Scripture says that the mustard seed is the smallest seed on earth,but it's not. Does this shake your faith?Hopefully not. We must understand that there are other meanings and lessons besides this that God is revealing to us
I have no need to grow in love for Mary.
Do you admire selfless love in anyone you know that loves Christ and goes beyond themselves in compassion for others even when suffering their own persecutions ?Does your love for them grow because of this?
Hopefully so. So why do you not want to imitate the love Our Blessed Mother had and understand that to grow in love for her means you are going to grow in love for Christ who created Our blessed Mother.
You may have he last word,dear sister, I have busy day at work tomorrow and need to get some sleep
“Plain Scripture” is not how it it understood today by a naive reader hearing it for the first time; It is how the words would be understood by the first Christians. It is hard enough to see things from the perspective of our own great- grandfathers, much less that of a totally different race , across an interval of sixty or more generations.
