Empowered women series - Part 2
Once upon a time, a young beautiful girl was so chaste, pure and modest that the community had the greatest respect for her. She implemented her moral values through her relationship with the community and was loved by God very much.
One morning, a man came to her and told her she was pregnant. At first she was shocked and fearful, trying to keep away from the man, who turned out to be an angel. He also told her she was carrying a baby boy. The girl was afraid and ashamed.
How could a chaste girl become pregnant? Even though this issue was very painful, she still took on the responsibilities and built her community. We must share the same feeling and take on responsibilities in our community, thus building the future of nations.
The girl’s son was Jesus (Peace Be upon Him) and the little girl was Virgin Mary. She managed to prove her quality of leadership and rose to the magnitude of responsibility she took on at a very young age.
On this note, I wish everyone Happy Holidays!
