4. Why the Spirit choose to use Mary as his vehicle for entrance into humanity we will never know except to know that love prevailed. I think that the older I get the more I appreciate Mary's role as the new mother to mankind. My earthly mother at this point needs mothering and I often find myself turning to Mary in my need for comfort and guidance. What a blessing that Mary was choosen and gifted to us and I am so glad I have come to know and trust Mary as a gift from God rather than as a hinderance or block or as somone who takes away honor due only to God. I have grown in my trust for Mary especially over the last 5 years as I have been under the spiritual leadership of a very holy pastor.
7. Our pastor, prior to praying the third Glorious Mystery and at many other times prays the following prayer that I have now added to my own prayer life ....
"Come Holy Spirit, Come my means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well beloved spouse."
This question is a good reminder to pray this prayer more
The book we are using for this blog "The Echo of God" is a commentary for beginners on St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary. The entire purpose of the blog is to help each of us to grow in our love for Jesus and His and our mother, Mary. The Echo of God will assist any reader who finds difficulty in appropriating Montfort's sublime teaching on the role of Mary in the formation of saints for the latter times.
