About this episode
This episode explores the role of Mary as a model for receiving and sharing God's gifts.
Scripture Acts 1:14 (NIV) They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Refrain I receive what God offers and hand it on. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "If Christ and Jesus are the archetypes of what God is doing, Mary is the archetype of how to receive what God is doing and hand it on to others. Mary is the Great Yes that humanity forever needs for Christ to be born into the world." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
