Mary, the Model of Faith

"Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." (Luke 1: 45)

The promises of God are trustworthy.  They shall all be fulfilled come what may.

"Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write down the vision;
Make it plain upon tablets,
so that the one who reads it may run.

For the vision is a witness for the appointed time,
a testimony to the end; it will not disappoint.
If it delays, wait for it,
it will surely come, it will not be late."  Habakkuk 2: 2 - 4)

Even if the fulfillment is delayed, wait for it with confidence.

"For thus said the Lord GOD,
the Holy One of Israel:
By waiting and by calm you shall be saved,
in quiet and in trust shall be your strength."  (Isaiah 30: 15)

"Faith that is firm is also patient."  (Isaiah 28: 16)

Mary is the Midwife of Yes.  She believes deeply in the word of God.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray us that we also may believe in all the promises of your Son.
