Part 1 of the series: Women of the Bible I would like to meet.

Of course, first on my list of women from Sacred Scripture that I would like to list is:

Our Mother Mary.

I think, other than the Trinity, I would love to meet her.

I would like to sit down and have a glass of iced tea with her and some cookies.

I don't know if she likes coffee, but I don't, so I didn't include that in my list of questions for her.

I'd love to sit under and olive tree with her and feel the the warm breeze on our faces.

I would love to sit and pray with her.

Perhaps, even an angel might visit?

I have so many questions for her.
