Do you remember the Catholic comic books that would explain Virgin Mary or the Saints. My mother would have those around, I found one a couple of years ago. I do not know where it is now. I hope I can find it brings back so many memories. You know what is amazing about the Virgin Mary is her relationship with St John the Apostle. In all the four Gospels only Matthew and Mark mention the birth of Christ. Yet The Gospel of John reads “ 1.14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.” Now thats his commentary for the birth of Christ a majestic poetry of love. You can see this was the man who knew Christ better than the others even in there views as Apostles. And that he would be so close to Christ that he would take care of Mary. Theres alot thats implicit in their relationship not as explicit in the Gospels.
