After the wedding feast at the beginning of his ministry there are only two times in all of the gospels where Mary is mentioned in proximity to Jesus; when she and his brothers tried to pull rank on those listening to his teaching and at the cross. The first incident Jesus didn't acknowledge her but simply said those that followed him were his mother and brethren. After the cross she is not mentioned until in the upper room after the ascension. She is not among those who ministered to him during his ministry and was not among those who were at the tomb for the burial protocols nor is she mentioned at any of the appearances before the ascension or at the ascension.

What Mary gave to him died when he died; nothing of hers survived his grave. His human spirit was given to him at conception by the Father and he always had his divine spirit. The Father raised him from the dead and gave him a glorified body and the exalted position he now has. That is the scripture; not some fanciful extra-canonical fiction.

AMEN!

God willing, our Roman Catholic FRiends will be able to see the Scriptural truth of your post and shed the idolatry that is Rome's unseemly elevation of a nice Jewish girl to "co-redeemer."

No, we're all pretty much wise to that Sola Scriptura junk.
