Train of thought is on women's ordination - Why not? The idea of posting the part MARY'S MOTHERHOOD WITH REGARD TO THE CHURCH - was that Mary had "agreed" as well as all the other Matriarch (past) to serve God. In her response to the Angel Gabriel the phrase, ""I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her."
In your obligations (priestly) it is the same commitment, " obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls."
What makes women any different than to fulfill their obligations in the same way? Someone did say, "Do you also understand why the discernment of a vocation should also involve the larger community that one might feel called to serve?"
Being called to serve was the whole point of Mary - it wasn't designated on how she was to serve? Women have always been "part" of the redemption process since Abraham - to help bring in the promise or to help fulfill the promise along the way. Do you feel that in the church they are restricted?
