[Sundaycommunity] NOT KNOWING TOO MUCH

[Brian Shaughnessy]

17.  The Disobedience of Eve and the Obedience of Mary
_______________________________________________

[Mary]

"Disobedience was the beginning of the downfall. The tree: the means to
test their obedience. What does obedience to God's commands imply?  It
implies all possible good, because God commands nothing but good.

Her presumption is her ruin. Presumption is the yeast of pride.

At the tree, the Seducer:  'Be gods.  Real life is to know the laws of
life. Then you will be like gods and will be able to say to God: "We are
equal to You" '

And the allurement continued because there was no will to break it.  On the
contrary, there was the will to continue it and to learn what did not
belong to man.  And the woman becomes a female.

I obeyed in every way.  God inspired Me to be a virgin. *I obeyed. *God
asked Me to get married. *I obeyed. *God asked Me to be a Mother. *I
obeyed. I believed it was possible and that the word came from God, because
I was filled with peace when I heard it.*

Eve wanted pleasure, triumph, freedom. I accepted sorrow, humiliation,
slavery.  Relying on Him not only for the virginal conception, but also for
the protection of My honour, for the consolation of My spouse, for the
means suitable to raise him to the sublimation of marriage.

I was certain God would not break His promise to assist Me in My sorrow of
a spouse who realizes she is considered guilty, and of a mother who knows
she is generating a Son to deliver Him to sorrow:

'Yes, My Lord, as You wish. I will know what You want Me to know. I will
live as You want Me to live. I will rejoice if You wish so.  I will suffer
for what You want Me to suffer.' "
