What happened in the Blessed Mother must happen in all humanity. She is the symbol of God’s final victory in humanity. The closer I come to her, I shall be empty and I shall be filled.
The "weakness" I experience today is an "emptying" of my "Ego". There doesn’t seem to be a better way to ‘lose self’ than the deep awareness of being highly filled with ‘self’ that I am. This of course would not happen unless the "Spirit" is beside me.
