[Magdalen] Images and words about Mary

[Scott Knitter]

I like our late rector's explanation in response to questions about
"immaculate conception": "God did whatever God needed to do to prepare
Our Lady to become the mother of Our Lord." So it's God's "beeswax,"
not ours. Mary did well in accepting her high divine calling and
pointing others to Jesus: "Do whatever he tells you."
