“Within the sphere of humanity and in the natural world, there had to be a pure and spotless being capable of receiving the divine element, a feminine principle enlightened by grace.”

~Nicholas Berdyaev

For Reflection:

Meditate on this quote in light of the Blessed Mother.  Think about it with regard to God’s initiative in her life and her capacity to surrender to His Holy Will.  Consider the words “pure” and “spotless”.  Why do you think these qualities would be essential to receive the “divine element”?

 Introduction

My prayer is that as you read their stories, you too will come to see that God desires for you to be a witness to the Faith as well, no matter your circumstances. May the stories of these men and women inspire you, instruct you, encourage you, and lead you to a deeper appreciation of God’s abundant life at work within you. And may their witnesses give you courage to be a witness to the Faith each and every day. The salvation of many is depending on it.
