Mary, did you know?

It’s that time of year when a lot of people freak out about the song “Mary, did you know?”

You know what, I like this song.

Come at me, bro…

I recently came across a video by the lyricist of the song and he explains the meaning of the song in the way I’ve always understood it, rhetorical questions at the wonder of the Incarnation:

Note: He misunderstands the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. This doesn’t refers to Jesus’ virginal conception without an earthly father. Rather it refers to Mary being conceived without the stain of Original Sin, but rather in a state of grace….full of it, in fact.
