The Attentive Virgin

"Mary is the attentive Virgin, who receives theMary annunciation Virgin word of God with faith, that faith which in her case was the gateway and path to divine motherhood, for, as St. Augustine realized, "Blessed Mary by believing conceived Him [Jesus] whom believing she brought forth."

~Pope Paul VI Marialis Cultus

For Reflection:

Advent is a time of anticipation and preparation.  How do you see both of these attitudes of heart implicit in the statement, "Mary is the attentive Virgin"?  What virtue underscores Mary's reception of the word of God--from the moment of the angelic message to her impregnation?

 Introduction

My own journey back to the Catholic faith began through the testimony of a friend. Her example of Christian fortitude and perseverance in the midst of a great trial convinced me that grace was real and God had a plan for each of us.  She not only spoke to me about Jesus, she "witnessed" Him to me.  Indeed,  because of her, my life was changed forever.
