I Was Wrong

Sunday, during my sermon, I mentioned that Mary is to be "adored" by us, yet not worshipped by us. I got the first half of that one wrong. To adore is to worship -- those two things are the same. I think it is appropriate that we respect and admire Mary and see her as a role model because of her faith. Remember, though, that when we look to the actions and life of Mary we should be moved to worship and adore God, who chose her and gave her the faith to trust Him in the most unusual of circumstances.
