"...we cast ourselves into your arms..."

I may get to more of this tomorrow. My preliminary comment: We Catholics see Mary, and not only Mary but the whole Church --- all Christians taken collectively as the Body of Christ, and each one of us in particular --- as sharing in the great works of Christ.

Yes, we take these words of His very much to heart:

John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

You do His work. He said so. So do I. So does Mary.

So as a preliminary expansion of this subject, let's look at all those actions, attributes, and works, and see how they can apply to us, His Body, we who share His work (as He said above), and His cross, and His crown --- and see if that doesn't apply to all of us.

Tagline to you, Cynical Bear --- and Good Night.

Yep...And your religion also has a lot of non Christians in its body of Christ...Your religion even claims the body of Christ is full of tares along with the wheat...

Sorry, but that's not the Body of Christ...
