Mary and the Saints

Can we possibly comprehend what life was like for Mary and the saints? The saints were sinners just like us. The power of grace worked in them in such a way that they became conformed to the will of God just like Christ. But Mary, Mary never sinned. From the moment of conception she was preserved from the original sin and all her life she never once gave into temptation. What a miraculous work of grace! No wonder she was assumed into heaven - her body and soul were perfectly united and perfectly ordered in their integrity of being and in their free and total offering to God. Mary and all saints, pray for us!
