By one man's disobedience, many die. But one Man's obedience saves many. Jesus and Mary obey the Law, even though they are not obligated to do so. By obeying the law, they submit to the Law Giver, God Himself. Obedience means "to listen and to do." Pray for the virtue of obedience, for it is by this vritue that one grows in wisdom and grace before God and men.
