Secondly, from analyzing her words of praise (the magnificat) when she found she was to be the mother of the Savior, we can see she is full of feeling and poetic expression. It is interesting to note that her poetry is full of references to God’s doings in former times, making me think she was quite familiar with her religious literature and history and able to quote them well.
Thirdly, her words of acceptance, “may it be to me as you have said” indicate she was open to whatever new thing God wanted to do in her…a perceiving rather than judging characteristic, I’d say. Her presence as Jesus did his first miracle, and again at the cross indicates that she was with him and watching, but the gospel writers never depict her as taking center stage. She comes across as a loyal supporter, not a director or a diva. If you think that’s just how all women in the Bible were–sweet and submissive–boy are you gonna laugh when you read about the mother of James and John, or about Martha!
You are right that we just cannot be 100% certain about someone when we have limited historical information about them. My pastor says you can learn a lot about incidents or people in the Bible by noting both what is said, and also what you’d expect to be there but is NOT said, you know, like reading between the lines. The Gospels are easy to read for yourself in a short time, so I hope you will have fun doing so. See if you agree or disagree with me about Mary, and also observe how the personalities of other people are portrayed. Flaws and failings are not sugar-coated, but what’s great is, Jesus invites all kinds of characters to follow him, not just “holy” people! Mary seems like one of the few in the Gospels who would actually be able to live up to that description.
