Mary said yes to God. | |||
Mary was a good child, raised to do her duty. | |||
And this was God! | |||
But God didn't say, "Mary! Mary you have to! Mary you must!" | |||
What God said was, "Mary, will you trust?" | |||
Mary said yes to God. | |||
He didn't coerce, He didn't demand, He let her make her choice. | |||
And Mary said yes to God. | |||
Jesus said yes to God. | |||
He didn't want to: he knew that all that was to come was death. | |||
Suffering and death. | |||
He begged God, "Lord! Let this cup pass from me!" | |||
God said: | |||
[silence] | |||
Nevertheless Jesus stayed for the betraying kiss. | |||
Even though he knew, he chose to stay; he had a job to do. | |||
And he was very sure. | |||
Jesus said yes to God. | |||
He said yes, and as he died, tortured, abandoned and denied, he said: | |||
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" | |||
And God was made man.}} | |||
