"And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word." (Luke 1:38) How many of us accept God's will as readily as the Blessed Virgin Mary did over two millenia ago? What we need to remember is that all authority, including secular authority comes from Almighty God. The United States is founded on the proposition that the people give the government authority, but this is not Christian and not Biblical.
