Description

In faith we adore to consider Mary as our Blessed Mother. We see Mary depicted time and again holding the infant Jesus in her arms. The most well liked image of Mary in paintings, icons, stained glass, and statuary is her role as the Madonna, the mother of the Word made flesh. The imagination and genius of artists supply us with images of the maternal wonder, innocence, and affection that our faith discerns on this holy Mother of God. However the story of Mary’s relationship with Jesus goes beyond her nurturing him as a child. She also accompanies him During his life stages from childhood to the teen years, from young adult to his maturity, from his thirtieth year to his passion and death, and from his resurrection to his ascension. During his life, Mary continues to hold her son in her love and in her outstanding prayer and contemplation. In 42 scriptural reflections, Fr. Alfred McBride invites us to imagine Mary as a young wife and new mother who holds her infant, as the Mother of Sorrows who holds her son when he’s taken down from the cross, and as a witness to the infant Church when the Holy Spirit descends within the Upper Room at Pentecost.
