Mary chose with fully informed consent through original innocence into which Mary’s soul was created, as all souls are created in original innocence, to do the will of God perfectly, as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, chooses to do the will of His Father in heaven perfectly.
God granted Blessed Mary Perpetual Virginity in body and soul when Blessed Mary desired Perpetual Virginity in body and soul.
“My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
Because He had regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me Blessed.”
Blessed Mary knew exactly who she was and why she, Blessed Mary, was created.
From the Novena Prayer of the Holy Rosary…EWTN;
Listen, my faithful children; open up your petals, like roses planted near running waters; send up the sweet odor of incense, break forth in blossoms like the lily. Send up the sweet odor of your hymn of praise; bless the Lord for all he has done. (Sir 39: 13-14)
Here, in Traverse City, we have thousands of acre’s of cherry trees. Blossoms for our neck of the woods are weeks away. One of our simple pleasures is taking a stroll through the Orchard during the peak. We don’t walk alone. Our Lady is near as her Holy Rosary is being recited.
Sweet heart of Mary be our Salvation.
Don’t fret.
We can never love Mom as much as her Son does…and it did take her yes to bring about Our Savior…sweet heart of Mary, be our Hope and Joy as you bring us to the throne of your Son, our big brother, Jesus.
