Mary's journey of faith
Mary, 2015 years ago, how were you feeling?
You must have, by that time, already heard of the emperor's decree that each man, and of course their family, had to go back to his original town for the census.
What was your reaction? Your date was very close, so you must not have been very happy with the turn of events.
Was it easy for you to say, "okay, let's go!"? Or did you also struggle, or a bit rebellious, or worried, wondering if you could, in that condition, go through that whole journey. Did you think about what you would have done should your due date come and you were still on the road? Have you wondered whether you would find a decent place, or whether Joseph's relatives would treat you well knowing the circumstances of your marriage?
I will never know how you felt then, Mary.
What I know is that you continued on the journey, in faith.
