To be un-married and pregnant was bad enough and no doubt worthy of stoning; but to say you're carrying the Son of God would have been blasphemous surely? <br /><br />We rightly admire Mary's Faith, but perhaps we often forget her parents' Faith and that of Joseph.<br /><br />You always make one think very deeply with your posts Michael. Thank you.<br /><br />God bless you and your familyVictor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717500353710337060.post-33013836316577893262012-07-31T23:08:50.583-04:002012-07-31T23:08:50.583-04:00Victor,
Something tells me anyone that has read y...Victor,<br /><br />Something tells me anyone that has read your blog will never forget about you.<br /><br />As for Joachim and Anne, I believe their names came from the book of James. Since this book is an apocryphal one, I get the feeling the names are as much symbolic as fact. (I'm far from an authority on this, though)<br /><br />Regardless, I, too, wonder how they reacted when Mary told them about Gabriel. <br /><br />Then again, I wonder about just about everything.<br /><br />God Bless.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166363205001461183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717500353710337060.post-5321842795568253142012-07-29T10:46:52.578-04:002012-07-29T10:46:52.578-04:00Wot?
People will forget about me? And I haven'...Wot?<br /><br />People will forget about me? And I haven't even had my 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps I should paint a can of soup. No ... dog food. That'll get people thinking.<br /><br />About Joachim and Anne. If they're not mentioned in the Bible, then how do we know about them Michael? Please forgive my ingnorance about this.<br /><br />Of course, Mary had parents, and they must have been wonderful parents to bring up a daughter whom God smiled upon. But I wonder ... how did they react when she told them about the visit by the Angel Gabriel?<br /><br />If it was me I would have gone "AAAAAHHHHH !!!!!"<br /><br />It's the way I show I'm being calm.<br /><br />Thank you for another great thought-provoking post Michael. Perhaps you should post more often.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
