Mary would She would conceive a child who would be great and He would be called “the Son of the Most High.” Mary was confused and afraid after this encounter. She didn’t know what to make of it!

    Analysis of the Annunciation by Master of the Retable of the Reyes Catolicos

    Believed to be standing next to Mary is Archangel Gabriel who delivers the message to Mary that she would bear the child of god. While it is believed to be him, it’s peculiar because the archangel is represented as a woman who in fact looks very similar to Mary with long wavy red hair flowing down with a widow’s peak. The archangel is shown looking at Mary while also pointing to her and holding a golden staff. Painted gold in Latin are the words “The lord is with you.” “I am the maid of the lord” is also etched into Mary’s cloak. They are both shown standing inside a house in the countryside with the door open.…

    The Rosary: The Luminous Mysteries

    In it Christ and His disciples are at a wedding, and the wine runs out. Christ’s mother, the Virgin Mary, comes to him and tells Him, “they have no wine.” (Jn 2:3) Christ asks her, “Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come,” (Jn 2:4) whereupon the Blessed Virgin speaks her last words preserved for us: “Do whatever he tells you.” (Jn 2:5) Christ then turns the water that the servants bring him into wine, specifically, into the best wine. The wedding of Cana echoes the seventh day of creation and the meeting of Adam and Eve. In it Christ elevates the institution of Marriage to a sacrament, and demonstrates the core of His coming: that God has saved the best until last. It can also be referred back to the doxology psalm 104, in which King David praises the Lord for all of creation, speaking in verse of “Wine, which gladdens the heart of Man.” (Ps 104:15) A new creation is being instituted, and Christ, the perfect bridegroom, has saved the best wine---the wine of the new covenant---for last, not destroying the old covenants, but transforming and perfecting…

    Literary Analysis Of The Book Of Martha

    Martha was called upon by God and given an opportunity as well as a huge burden, with the world in her hands, to improvise the many problems in the human society. He tells her to keep three people, Jonah, Job, and Noah, in mind and tells her about the failures of other messengers he sent where human’s would simply twist words from God and continue on a path towards self-destruction. After long thought, Martha came up with the idea for people to have a perfect, and heaven-like experience in their dreams, since a satisfaction for the entirety of the worlds would only last for a few short moments in the real world. However, God warns her about the risks of her solution, such as the urge for suicide, because of the…
