Our Lord Jesus, the creator of the universe, is very generous in giving us His mother as friend and confidant. Apart from Him, she can do nothing. But whatever she asks of Him, He will not deny. As also can be said of Joseph, her most chaste spouse. The Father put the care of mankind’s salvation in the capable hands of Joseph. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the most holy family.

Wow, so many unbiblical statements in that small paragraph. No wonder Catholics frequently depict our Lord and Savior as a baby Jesus dependent on his mother.

"No wonder Catholics frequently depict our Lord and Savior as a baby Jesus dependent on his mother."

But this is a wonderful thing, is it not? It is the miracle of the Incarnation with all of its million human aspects of vulnerability and dependency.

Jesus hanging on the Cross also shows his dependent and vulnerable humanity. And Mary was there for it all: from His first cellular division in her womb, His first swallow of her milk, to His last dying breath.

She was the witness, without compare, of His Divine Humanity.

Satanists boil with hatred over this, and "edgy" blasphemous modern artists mock it.. I think it is beautiful beyond all telling.
