Beautifully put! There are so many Mysteries of God and His Kingdom that we'll never fully comprehend, even if we stand before His Throne for all eternity!

As for Mary, yes, Satan despises her for all her virtue! She is a powerful ally against temptation; a role model of a chaste, obedient servant of God. That's where her sanctity lies: the absence of sin and the fullness of virtue. How could one raise the Christ Child and not be holy? Imagine the great love among the three, the joy of living under the same roof as the Son of God!

And yes, His Merciful Love. To the woman caught in adultery, He was gentle and kind. To the one who wept at His Feet, He offered forgiveness. God is love; His justice is tempered with mercy, and He delights in His children when they seek Him!

May His Peace descend upon you, and His Spirit guide you to Him, and His Mother's love keep you ever close to Him!

God bless you!

Chaste means frigid?
