Called or Chosen
Several years ago, I reviewed Scripture searching out verses with “called” or “chosen.” The verse, “many are called; few are chosen,” refused to leave my thoughts. Along with the mental nagging of this verse was the voice of God saying to me that the Hebrews are His chosen people because they chose to be chosen. Hmm, what could this all mean?
New Years’ Resolutions
I believe that were I to ask the Blessed Mother about her New Year’s resolutions; she would look at me quizzically. The entire concept of making one resolution this year and another one next year would be foreign to her.
Mary: Mainstay of Home and Church
My mother was a rather complex person.
I suspect that we had an awkward introduction. Mom had a difficult pregnancy and had to spend much of it on the couch. My arrival day was early on a cold, stormy December morning. I wanted out, and she wanted me out, the nurses wanted me out, but the protocol 75 years ago was no delivery until the doctor arrived. So they pushed me back in. That was no fun.
