THE ANNUNCIATION
THE MOTHER OF GOD
3. The Life of the Mother of God.
At that time Her life was a life of intimate union with God both in body and soul. It was the intimate life of a Mother with Her Son. It was only one life, only one beating of both hearts. What an intense and deep recollection was Hers! All was centered upon the life of Her divine Son. Whatever She did, She did for Him and with Him. She would view things with the eyes of Her Son. She would love with His heart. His pleasure was Her pleasure. Hence, that most intimate life with Jesus; hence, those pure and perfect sentiments of love and joy towards that God Who was enclosed in Her bosom. If Heaven consists in the possession of God, Mary was already enjoying Paradise through that most intimate possession which was more perfect, indeed, than that of even the angels in Heaven. It was, then, through the union with Her Son a totally divine life, totally glorious, totally sanctifying.
