Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

This teaches us that whoever receives Jesus in faith is in no way guaranteed peace and good days by Him. Instead, he will come upon great distress as readily as His mother, Mary, did. -- C. F. W. Walther, *God Grant It!* p. 95

CFW has nice insight on Mary's suffering here.

What do you think of this metaphor on Mary?
