Indeed, what a gift God has given us in the saints though, particularly in the Blessed Virgin. As a young woman, she provides for me the perfect example of what it means to be fully woman. I rely on her extraordinary example in order to understand God's calling on my own life. She bears Christ to me and shows me how to bear Him to others. She embraces me in her arms and comforts me in times of sorrow or anxiety. She brings me before her Son and petitions on my behalf. As I live in the midst of a society which has so twisted and perverted the understanding of femininity, the Blessed Virgin shows me what it means to be a woman made in the image of God.DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195133313571297243noreply@blogger.com
