A Mother's Love: The Feast of St Mary the Virgin
Aug 13, 2017By: The Reverend Andria Skornik
As we celebrate the feast of St Mary, we should consider how a child's relationship to the world is formed through the relationship with the mother of that child. What love must Mary have shown her Son, that He could love the world as completely as He did. Please enjoy this video of the whole garden service celebrating the Virgin Mother, but know also that the sermon starts at the 8:45 mark.
The Scripture references are Isaiah 61:10-11, Psalm34:1-9, and Galatians 4:4-7. The Gospel reference isLuke 1:46-55.
