Be it done to me, oh Lord, according to Thy will. -- Mary's Obligate
[Note: Purely as background for my today's post, I am neither Catholic nor am I church people...I live a simple life with the God of my understanding.]
The Mary quote came to me this morning...I cannot find anything that I was reading at the time that this would have come from...especially the words Mary's Obligate. I have no knowledge or memory of the very word "obligate" much less Mary's Obligate.
But I did see it in my mind's eye along with the rest of the quote.
I had been sitting in silence with my thoughts trained on accepting God's will, God's way, particularly, dementia if that be God's will for me.
Mary when she accepted God's word did or must have passed my mind for then came, Be it done to me, oh Lord, according to Thy will. -- Mary's Obligate.
I felt nothing, got neither warm nor scared feelings...did not even ponder it at the time. After my quiet time, I recalled the words of "Mary's Obligate," and I had to google it. I felt poleaxed
So, now that I've pondered it by writing it down, I'm looking for the message's marching orders for me. It is to laugh...when will I ever learn?
Thy will be done means I do not know yet but whatever, whenever works for me. Or, figure out nothing, let what is coming, come, pray thank You, and continue to trust.
God is so good to me...patient may be the better word.
Thank you.
