From today's First Reading, 1 Cor 12:31-13:13: "So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." Does this give insight as to how much Jesus loved his mother?

Nope, not at all...I doubt that Jesus loved his mother any more than I loved my mother...

And maybe less...Jesus didn't put much stock in the flesh...`

Here's what Jesus knew...Jesus knew that the flesh was corrupt...Even his mother's flesh...He knew that one day that flesh would drop off and rot...Even his mother...

And thats how we know that Mary wasn't perfect...Her flesh was corrupted...And we know that because her corrupt body aged...She was not born perfect...Part of original sin is aging...Flesh deteriorating...it deteriorates because of the corrupted blood...That's why flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom...

Jesus knew his mother was not her flesh...Jesus' real mother was inside the flesh...The flesh was just a shell...Jesus knew the real Mary was the spirit of Mary...

You Catholics are so fixated on your many perceptions of what Mary's flesh looks like...Truth is, if any of you ever see Mary in heaven you won't recognize her...

Luk 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

That certain woman made the same error the Catholic religion makes...This woman was enamored over the flesh of Mary...The rotting flesh...

Luk 8:20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
Luk 8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

And every one of those brethren in front of Jesus were just corpses...Rotting flesh...Jesus wasn't looking at the flesh...Jesus was looking at and referring to the souls and spirits of those in front of him...'Those' are his brethren and mothers and fathers, NoT the flesh of Mary...

Outside of the flesh, Jesus doesn't have a mother...That's why Jesus never called Mary mother...Jesus hasn't been in the 'flesh' for 2000 years...Go ahead and ask Jesus who his mother is...
