Bagaikan manusia tak bernyawa, robot, yang bergerak hanya seperti mesin. Apa jadinya dengan kehidupan kita kalau kita tak ....

Mary’s life was completely consecrated to the service of her Son. (FIC Constitution Art. 12). Mary was preserved immaculate, not only because the Lord cannot stand sin, but also because she was meant to be as a gift, a total self-giving to the God. This explains her answer, “Behold I am the handmaid ....
