WGS11009 - LIVE SHOW - The Gift of Christ Through Mary

(Program 11009)
Guest: Johnnette Benkovic

Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen writes in his classic work, Divine Intimacy that God’s promise to send a Savior was included in the promise of the woman who would crush the head of the serpent through her obedience. What characterizes the obedience of the Virgin Mary to God? And what does it say to you and to me? St. John of the Cross says that Mary Immaculate is the prototype and the model of perfect union with God. He tells us that in her we find the two essential elements necessary for divine intimacy: first, that there is nothing in the soul’s will contrary to the divine will; and the second, really the consequence of the first, is that the human will be moved in all and through all, only by the will of God. In my own life of prayer, I have discovered that the best means for striving to acquire these two essential elements is to do so in light of the maternal beatitude of Our Blessed Mother and through her maternal intercession.
