Mary as Maiden symbolizes the willingness of the soul to take on its full destiny. When called to vocation and service, Mary said yes, although she was certainly filled with fear and doubt – how could she not be? When mystery descends upon us and seems to show the way, having the courage to say yes is easier with Mary Maiden by our side. She is Virgin, although she bore a son, for she was whole unto herself, dedicated to her path, and committed to her choices.
