It's contents and message are still relevant today. I also find it interesting to re-listen to it again one year later. I see how I've changed, grown, and where I'm stuck as different pieces stick out, strike me deeper, and point out where I still need to invite the Lord in. If this is your second time listening, I hope you can identify the same things in yourself. —Episodes referenced: -Doctrines and Dogmas: What’s the big deal?: https://clumsytheosis.net/2019/05/17/dogma-and-doctrine-whats-the-big-deal/ —Quotes referenced: -CCC 491 Pope Pius IX proclaimed: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin. - CCC 494 St. Irenaeus saind, “Being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race." Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert. . .: "The knot of Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience: what the virgin Eve bound through her disbelief, Mary loosened by her faith." Comparing her with Eve, they call Mary "the Mother of the living" and frequently claim: "Death through Eve, life through Mary.” —Scripture referenced: -Hail Mary, Full of grace.
