Think of this: you’re the Mother of the little newborn, and you know something like this awaits your child...
I saw your title and clicked just to gloss over the content. This insight is compelling and powerful. I plan to meditate on your insights today. Blessings.
Thanks for posting. Every time we pray these, more mysteries seem to arise. As if God is pointing out our humility.
Thank you. This morning I am up ahead of everyone else, alone with my coffee. The thought came to me that perhaps the Rosary is a prayer habit that, having set aside for a while, is something I should resume. Coming across your post clinched the deal.
Quite a trail of tears humanity made for Him at His earthly end and yet He took it all and gave back love, forgiveness, Word and wisdom in return.
I've been stuck for a while now thinking about the doubt of His friends and disciples in spite of all they saw and experienced.
My guess is He probably said "Forgive them, they know not what they do" or words to that effect under His breath constantly.
While I can't get my head around the doubt or doubters, their examples make it easier to, if not understand, at least go easy (in my head and heart) on the range of doubt and doubters from His friends and family to the the pharisees and scribes of His time, as well as those similar in our times.
Nothing new under the sun or the Son, I guess. Are we even more rational today and perhaps more jaded about the God and thoughts of the supernatural now than they were then when He walked as a man? More stubborn? More rebellious? About the same?
Do such traits indicate an individual's inner emptiness or perhaps a void ill filled by a form of one's own personality the ego likes best?
I don't know. What jades the once upon a time easy going trust, faith and belief of the child we all used to be and how does one get that back once lost?
Merry, Merry Christmas.
