Mary – the Greatest Female Spirit
"Can we speak too highly of her
whom the Lord has blessed above
all women? There was only on
Christ, and there is only one Mary.
Each was noble and great in the
pre-mortal existence and each was
foreordained to the ministry he or
she performed. We cannot but
think that the Father would choose
the greatest female spirit to be the
mother of His Son, even as He
chose the male spirit like unto Him
to be the Savior."
