Jesus said, " ...by refusing baptism from John the Baptist the Pharisees and the lawyers had thwarted what God had in mind for them,"
Luke 7:30
Mary said, "I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let what you have said be done to me."
Luke 1:38

The love of the Father courses over the whole earth save where it is rejected by man and challenged by the consequences of man's rejection. And His loving kindness is revealed in man by separating each in individual moulds and calling each to unique ministry in small things as in great. The record may be read and studied in history and in Holy Writ as well as in contemporary life and in the experience of each and every one. Such is the responsibility of man that he can thwart what God had in mind for his life and person. And as it is with the individual so it is with group, community and nation.

See how the Father's love has been shed upon the earth through the humble, loving response of His servant Mary, the human vessel of Incarnate Love. Possessed in every part by the Father's loving will and good purpose she became the instrument through which redemption and sanctification were made available to men, women and children of all places, races and times. Through her loving obedience all families on earth are blessed.

Let each and every child of the loving Heavenly Father consider these things and seek Mary's devotion and obedience through My saving Name.
