The Faith of Mary, the Mother of Jesus

Recent studies in the Gospel of Mark have led me to consider Mary, the mother of our Lord, in a fresh and encouraging way. She exemplifies faith, one that struggles with reality as it really is, but finally comes to resolve that Jesus Christ is, in fact, all He claimed to be and the very One the angel declared she would bring into the world for the salvation of God's elect. I hope you, too, will be encouraged to follow her faith in Christ as God, Savior, and Lord. Our Catholic friends and relatives esteem Mary too highly and are guilty of gross idolatry that would surely embarrass the humble channel through whom God entered the world of humanity. Once you have considered my thoughts, please pass this on and pray that God's will might be done in their lives as it was in Mary's and her children.
