We must beg the Panagia, who loves us so much... by blessed Gerondissa Makrina

Our Panagia has Christ not only as her Son, but also as her Beloved and her God. She has a mother’s love for Him, but also the love of one betrothed. He made her full of grace due to the boundless love she had for him. Do you see the Panagia speaking out anywhere in the Gospel? Not at all. She had such love for Him! We, too, must have fervent love for Christ. We must beg the Panagia, who loves us so much and gives to us so generously, to grant us a little of her humility. As soon as we call upon her, she fills us with boundless joy and delight.
