Blessed Virgin Mary, Page: Quotes, Quote Topic
If you love adventure, imitate the life of the Virgin Mary. Her life was nothing short of an epic journey of faith, during which she entrusted everything to God’s providence. She followed where he led, whether it was to a manger in Bethlehem, a road to Egypt, a common house in Nazareth, or a desolate hill outside Jerusalem. No matter where she was, she continued to persevere in this faith, risking everything in the sure confidence of God’s fidelity to his promise.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)

From the point of view of the world, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the things Mary did during her life: her help to her cousin Elizabeth, her care and concern for her infant son, her duties in the home at Nazareth, the journeys to worship at the Temple in Jerusalem, her burial of her husband Joseph, and her anguish at the sufferings of her son, Jesus. But from a supernatural perspective, her life was extraordinary because everything she did, she did out of obedience to and love for God.
