Luke 2

Luke 2:35
and a sword will pierce even your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."
Imagine having been through the most painful (and joyful) experience of your life barely a week earlier.  You then have to walk a couple hours to another city, probably wait in lines to buy required items, and as you're finally almost done with the requirements of the trip, a stranger comes up and says this to you.

How do you take it?  This bundle of joy, who you've been told will save your people, is going to bring you huge pain?  Did Mary experience any questions or hesitations from hearing this, or was she still simply submissive to God's direction?
