Reflection/Homily: Solemnity of Mary Mother of God
(January 1 2013)
In a
particular kingdom, after the death of the king, the Prince had to choose a
wife before his coronation as the next king. The Prince made it open for every
young girl in the kingdom to exhibit her qualities and draw his attention.
Several young girls started wearing sexy clothes to seduce the Prince but he
was not moved. Some began to wear
wonderful hairstyles but the Prince was not moved. Others prepared delicious
meals and presented them to the prince but he was not delighted.
Every
young girl made an attempt in several ways but the Prince was not moved. It was
not because he was very difficult to be pleased but because they did not know
exactly what he so desired of a woman more so of a wife. Only one woman had a
perfect knowledge of this. This woman was like the rest of women in the
kingdom, while some valued her, others despised her. She was very dear to the
Prince because of her glaring personality, but no one dared to consult her or
win the Prince’s heart through her.
