Oh thank you for sharing this story. Maybe just a hard day, but this beautiful story made me cry smile

 

Love it!

 

I’ve never heard this story, I love it. Thanks for sharing!

 

LOVE it!!!

 

I have to admit I teared up as well.  Such a good stoy.

 

I explain the Immaculate Conception to my students this way.

Pretend Josue (or the name of any of the kids in my class) is walking through the woods and he falls in a pit.  If I pull him out of the pit, have I saved him from the pit? Okay, imagine Anna is walking through the woods and before she reaches the pit, I call out, “Anna, watch out, don’t fall in the pit!”  Have I not saved Anna from the pit too?  The difference is that I saved Anna BEFORE she fell.

I’m not sure where I read this story, but it was in one of the books I read during my conversion process.  It made the IC make sense for me and allowed me to let go of that obstacle to my conversion.

 

Laura, I’ve heard that example given on a CD from Catholicity.  Marcus Grodi, Patrick Madrid & a third person are talking apologetics & Mary, and they use that analogy.  Great discussion.

 

We can’t give our judgment to God, simple if he has done something then there is a reason behind this which we need to accept it. I can say your blog make us to remember god and think for him, otherwise in our day to day life we won’t get such time to remember him also.
