[Salvation]

If there had been brothers and sisters, the Christ would have given his Mother to them.

There weren’t.

So he gave her to John the Apostle and to us.

[boatbums]

If there had been brothers and sisters, the Christ would have given his Mother to them. There weren’t. So he gave her to John the Apostle and to us.

Those brothers and sisters weren't THERE with Mary at the foot of the cross, were they? They had deserted Jesus just like the rest of the Apostles, besides John. John was THERE and was why Jesus entrusted His mother's care to him.
