(Elisabeth) ... cried with a loud voice, "Blessed are you among women and blessed fruit of your womb." (Luke 1:42)
Reading the Bible in a Year:
1 John 1-3
Baby Box - Such as occurs in most parts of the world, promiscuity also hit South Korea. Many high school students pregnant out of wedlock. The family refused because of embarrassment. Schools bear to impose discipline: issued. Bullied strong social pressure, many young mothers chose secretly put her child on the grounds of the future. The babies were abandoned cold in the street. Life expectancy for them is very thin. Who cares?
Although different cases, is not thought Mary did not experience social pressures. Pregnancy mysterious invite a thousand questions, judgment, and condemnation. Can be understood if Elizabeth's house in the village of Ein-Karem is a good temporary refuge (cf.. V. 56). Although slammed by social pressures, Maria made the correct choice. The fetus in her womb was the Savior and Lord - as confirmation that came from the mouth of the womb and Elizabeth (v. 41-44). Babies in the womb of Mary is not the fruit of damnation, but rather a source of grace.
As the Holy Infants in the womb of Mary, no matter how mysterious and awkward pregnancy the mother, every baby has a purpose in this world. A minister in South Korea, Lee Jungrak moved to see the conditions in the country. He cares about the sanctity of life and the protection of the weak. He set up a "baby box" in front of his house to abandoned babies placed on it, so as not to die, because he would take care of him. Advent invites us to care for the baby who was thrown from his mother's arms, but God set him up. Will we? -Pad
Christ came so that we know, in the heart of God is always a place and a plan for each individual.
