The Greatest Honor

Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 by Women of Grace Staff

“In Mary, the destinies of the world were to be reversed, and the serpent’s head bruised. In her was bestowed the greatest honor ever put upon any individual of our fallen race. God was taking upon him her flesh, and humbling himself to be called her offspring – such is the deep mystery.” 

                                             Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman

For Reflection:

Some “deep” mysteries of Mary are mentioned in this quote and in the other quotes from this week as well. Write down the ones you can identify. Which mystery speaks to my heart most deeply and why? What one mystery can I most imitate and how?
