Two from Galilee page 9 by ric gustafson
Mary was frustrated and confused. She did not understand. The finger of God had touched her. The presence of God had consumed her. God kindled life inside her. Then she thought of Joseph. She could not think of him right now. Mary tried to avoid telling her mother. One day, she knew she had to tell her.
" Mother, it has been three months since I bleed".
" We'll brew some herbs and fix you a potion".
" Don't pretend mother ". Mary stared at her. " I know what you must be thinking".
" What am I thinking?".
" I have not lain with any man".
Mother sighed. " Not even Joseph".
" Joseph is a good man mother".
" It's hard for two people deeply in love to stay away from each other".
" Mother, Joseph is an honorable man".
" But still the flesh is weak".
" Don't you believe in me mother?".
" Yes Mary, I believe you".
