"Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son" --Luke 1:31

The glory that God chose to bestow on Woman!! God could have chosen any way to enter into the world and bring us our salvation-- that He chose to do so as a human enters the world, through the womb of a Mother!! How glorious and dignified is woman, and how often she, in her femininity and fertility, is degraded today. Woman's body was the first tabernacle! Woman's finite womb contained the infinite!

The honor that God chose to bestow on Man!! To protect His Son and Mary, God assigned Joseph, a man. To protect Woman from humiliation and degradation, from all abuse; to give her love and provide for all her needs. To protect the Child, care for Him, and raise Him!! How could Man seek a higher honor than this?
