No, she was, as scripture tells us, watching her grown Son, a man in his prime at 33, be tortured to death, from the foot of the cross. If you are not a mother, you cannot possibly know what that means. I am quite certain she would have joyfully, instantly, taken His place were such a thing possible. I am sure she wanted to die with Him. I am positive she felt every blow.
It's infinitely sad that someone who professes to be a Christian would need reminding of that fact. Those heartless, uncomprehending, cold, so-called Christians have my most fervent prayers that Christ will forgive them, and save them. Just as I am sure the soldiers were in Mary's prayers, just as Christ prayed to His Father for their forgiveness.
Cold! Heartless! And yet, loved by Christ unto their salvation...
This is inferring something you know nothing about and is in essence, mind-reading. Many of us weep at Communion and at hymns such as "Were you there when they crucified my Lord". You are making this personal when we are merely talking finer points of theology
My sentiments exactly. If we look at humanity now, a good mother, obedient to God, is essential to society. Women have been brainwashed and degraded into something Our Lady wouldn't even recognize. Thank you Jesus for giving us a role model we needed. May everyone be so blessed to understand your gifts.
And therein lies the sacrilege of Rome.
I am quite certain to even entertain that thought is blasphemy and reveals a total miscomprehension of God's word.
I do not believe Mary would have been guilty of such a profound error. Strange that the RCC would attribute that to the mother of the Christ child. Especially since Rome spends so much time telling us Mary fully comprehended her son's life and work on earth, and to such an extent that she actually shared in accomplishing that work of the cross.
