Last Sunday was mother’s day. I did my blog on the Ascension that day. That being said mother’s are very important. Catholics call Mary their mother because of what Chist said on the cross:”When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ‘behold your son!’ Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold your mother!’ And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.”(John 19:26-27)
From a search on the internet, using google, for this passage it says:
- Theological Meaning: Many interpret this as Jesus giving Mary as a mother to all believers (represented by John) and establishing the Church’s relationship with her.
If it is this is that easy for an AI to see it should not be hard for an Christian to see. All Christians, not only Catholics, should understand that we can appeal through Mary mother of Jesus, to pray for us, not to worship her as some protestants purport that Cathollics are doing when we ask her to intercede for us with Jesus Christ, her son, Almighty God. That He listens to her is seen at the wedding feast at Cana. (John 2:1-11).
In my opinion insulting the blessed virgin Mary by thinking or implying that she is not a perpetual virgin, may go badly for people who think that on judgement day. If one cannot have a new husband unless a woman’s old husband dies, she could never have another one, assuming she was a virgin when she conceived Jesus through the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost (the second person of the blessed Trinity – God Almighty) because the everliving God is already her “husband.” Having a second husband is adulterous and the person Almighty God choose, who He withheld original sin from, would not do that.
The fact that Jesus Christ turned water into wine for her should be an example of how we are required to obey, not only our fathers but our mothers. She is also an example to all woman kind, both married (she had a Son) and religious/single (she is a perpetual virgin) ladies.
