She had one mission on earth, to birth the LORD Jesus Christ. That was the end of her mission.

Really? Please explain the following:

From John 19:

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!

Why was she still around if she “had no mission?”

****You also stated: The Scriptures tell nothing of her doing anything after the crucifixion.

From Acts 1:
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

By the way, what is your interpretation of this:

Revelation 12:1 - And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” St. Jerome (A strong exhortation from a Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church to Christians urging all to recognize that serious Bible study is a necessity, not an optional luxury. St. Jerome, was a monk and bible scholar of the 5th century, a contemporary of Saint Augustine.)

Also: Go Navy. Beat Army! ;-)

This wasn't about her mission....this was about Jesus giving ‘the care of his mother’ to one of his disciples...and note he did NOT put her in the care of a family member....rather to one who he knew would understand his comment.

Christ told Mary that John would now be her son on earth. And John took care of Mary thereafter. She was not, and you will never be able to provide Scripture to prove otherwise, that she was no longer heard of in Scripture after Acts. She is not preaching, writing Scripture, providing insite, providing the Gospel. That WAS given to Paul and he did that. Mary did not. End of argument. You can believe whatever it is you believe and I will follow the Gospel of 1 Corth 15: 1-4. No where there is Mary mentioned.
