Finally, I have corrected the time problem on my posts by double checking on the Settings. I think it does help to check on the settings every now and then to see if it's in sync.
Today is the Feast of the Entry of the Theotokos Into the Temple. In the Gospel (Luke 10:38-42, 11:27-28), we see that Jesus replies to the woman who says, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!"--"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!" This is obviously an indirect praise to His mother, for we realize that Mary kept the word of God in her heart. We see this all the way back to Luke 1, where it is written that she had kept all the things she heard and saw in her heart. No doubt Mary had kept her faith, even in the most troubling times. The first part of the Gospel does talk about a different Mary; nevertheless, we can see that there is without any doubt that this can be applied to the Theotokos. Again, she listened to her Son while He taught. She had kept all of these things, and in the end we see that she received the reward that we would also receive if we hold on to the faith and do God's will.
