If Only Mary Were But Known

It is written everywhere from Genesis through Revelation. “The Morning Star”. The author of the Canticle of Canticles called titled her “My Dove” Sgs 6:8.
The book of revelation gave her the title “Ark of the Covenant” Rev 11:19.
At Pentecost, the powers in the merits of her prayers brought upon mankind the gifts of her beloved Spouse. Like thongs of fire, it stood upon their heads Acts 2:2. At the foot of the cross the sorrows of mankind she carried, there she was proclaimed the Mother of mankind.
“He came down to His own but His own did not Him”.

‘If only Mary were but known’.

Every day, the Holy Spirit tries to set the world to see the beacon of hope for mankind. The Gospel according to St. Luke gave an account of it all. The Virgin after being visited by the angel of the Lord set forth to visit her cousin in a distant land. This part of the story is quite interesting. Luke 2:41 ‘and it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.......43. And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

At this time Mary had not told Elizabeth about her encounter with the angel but because Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit so it was revealed to her that the babe in the womb is the Lord.......

46. And Mary said: my soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call ne blessed.......
Does my generation call her blessed? That is the big question. I read the Bible daily but do I see and understand these things clearly? Or do I interpret the bible the way I want? Lots of questions to ask but sorry it's not the time for questions.

‘If only Mary were but known’.

There would be peace world over, souls would frequent heaven more freely, poverty would cease in the land of the rising sun and like in the wilderness the chosen people of the Most High would once again eat manna from heaven. If only Mary were but known sinners would frequent the Sacrament of confession, souls would be saved, life anagaga.
