But I would stand by the conviction that a woman who was blessed to have carried the Savior in the intimacy of her body for 9 months, given birth to Him, nursed Him, cuddled Him, taught Him to walk and to talk, fed Him, prayed with Him, lived with Him for 30 years, grieved for Him in his final, sorrowful moments of stripping, humiliation and death, held His crucified body in her arms, and knew His triumph when He was raised from the dead, was blessed above anyone, man or woman, who ever lived.How more intimate is that than having Him dwell in your heart through faith? Interior vs exterior?

Mary was a woman of faith. We know that. But the blessings and graces we have frm God involve the whole person, because we ARE incarnate persons.
Luke 1:46-55 gives a beautiful picture of this. How highly graced she was --- she who was filled with grace --- and how humble.
