I have to know God. I have to listen to the Scriptures. I have to understand exactly what I am doing with my life. Knowing God is an impossibility. I think "Evergreater", but how can I capture an idea of such magnitude within the limits of my brain. My thoughts are useless, but God in his love for his creation makes known his intention for mankind in the scriptures. I am one of billions who are souls created by God and known totally by Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have always been in my own mind bigger than my reality although I strive after humility, I know that my sinful weaknesses offend my pride before I know them as sins that offend our God.

Mary is the only created being born without sin, an untarnished image and likeness. Her position in God's plan for humanity is always under attack. Human thinking about God, Theology, has written millions of words for and against the Church's teaching but the words from the Cross to John are still part of the words that will still stand to the end of time.

Our Lady has never sinned and so has only returned God's love by total obedience and service. She is a soul created by God out of nothing to become the body that bears the natural body that is the Word Incarnate. "How can this be?" " Let it be done according to thy word". 

Dear Lord, help me to be as straight in my response to your love of me as is Mary who carried you from conception to birth. You are God and I have to know love and obey. The way of my life is rocky, up and down and twisted but your love is as straight as an arrow. Let my response grow to be like Mary's. May Mary who requested your first miracle on Earth make the same irresistible request that your Church cleanse herself of all that besmirches the virginal purity of your intention and become the guardian of us thy people who are all known to you.
