"And coming to her (Mary), he (the angel Gabriel) said, 'H ail, favored one (kecharitomene).'" ~ Luke 1:28
Mary was exempt ed from bodily corruption because, by an entirely singular privilege, she completely overcame sin by her Immaculate Conception. Jesus ascended to He aven by His own power as Creator and LORD. Mary was taken into Heaven by th e power of God, raised aloft by grace, not by nature. Pope Pius said, "C hrist has overcome sin and death by His own death... However, in accord wi th His general rule, God does not wish to grant the full effect of victory over death to the just until the end of time shall have come... Yet God wi shed that the Blessed Virgin Mary be exempt from this general law. For she , by a completely singular privilege, conquered sin in her Immaculate Conc eption, and thus was not liable to that law of remaining in the corruption of the grave, nor did she have to wait for the end of time for the redemp tion of her body (AAS 42.754)." ~ J.M. Guerin

David Brenner grew up poor in Philad elphia. He didn't expect a graduation gift when he finished high school. Ye t, he received one he never forgot. "Some of my friends got some neat gift s. The few rich kids got brand new cars or new wardrobes. Just having my fa mily there was enough for me. But after the graduation, my dad said, 'I h ave your graduation gift.' He extend his hand toward me - a nickel! 'Buy a newspaper with that,' he said. 'Read every word of it, page one to the la st page. Then turn to the classified section and get yourself a job. Get in to the world. It's all yours now.' I laughed. 'A nickel! Thanks a lot,' I said as I forced a smile. I always thought that was a great joke my father played on me until a couple of years lat...

"In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as th eir own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one eve r hated his own body, but he heeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church." ~ Ephesians 5:28-29
Husband, take positives steps to meet your partner's emotional needs. Your wife longs to be encouraged, built up, and praised. She wants to feel close to you emotionally. This wi ll come as you love her in the way the Bible describes. A husband can alway s meet his wife's deepest needs by loving her as Christ loves us. A husband 's love has been compared to a warm coat he wraps around his wife. As long as she feels encircled and sheltered in his love, she can give herself com pletely to him. In this safety, she can accept herself as a woman and valu e her femininity.
We husbands may not be able to fully appreciate th e deep longings that influence our wives, but if we love them with the she ltering love described in Ephesians 5:28-29 we wil...

"The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him." ~ Proverbs 20:7
Some years ago a newspaper ran an interesting contest in which children were to write essays on "My Po p's Tops." Here is a young son's top entry:
"We have so much fun wit h my dad that I wisht (sic) I had known him sooner. He is a farmer. He smel ls like a cow, and when I smell that cow in the house, I know Pop is home and I am glad. My pop's tops because every time I ast (sic) for a knickel (sic) he will start preeching (sic) that when he was a boy he had to earn h is knickels (sic), and at the same time he is putting his hand in his pock et and pulls out a knickel (sic) for me. My pop's tops because he was a bra ve soldier. He didn't see me till I was three years old, yet he is just as good to me as if he knew me all my life."
It's evident this little guy was judging his dad by the common everyday things. A smell, a nickle, the feeling inside. Does anything matter mo...
