[Therefore the Lord
himself will give you this sign:
the
virgin shall be with child,
and bear
a son,
and shall
name him Emmanuel.] (Is. 7:14)
Salvation is
intentional. This seems like a “no brainer”, yet we can take it for granted and
fail to consider its gravity. Already here in the 7th chapter of the Book of
the Prophet Isaiah God makes clear His intention to grant salvation to His
people and the way in which it would arrive— “a virgin shall be with child, and
bear a son”.
The Blessed Virgin
Mary is that Virgin promised and her Son that salvation intended. In agreeing
to her virginal motherhood Mary confirms God’s intentional salvation.
In so intending to
save all humanity, God intentionality intended to save you personally. God had
been preparing your salvation for thousands of years.
Take a few moments
today and thank God for His love and offer of salvation. Also, thank Mary your
mother and the Mother of God for her cooperation with God’s grace.
Hail Mary full of
grace...
