Music that touches the heart as we begin the journey into the Three Days of Ultimate Sacrifice, Salvation and Glory!
Mary, Mother of God
Luke 2:34-35, 42-50
His mother said...Who are you, Mary? Did you wonder. too? Mother of the Son of God--no job description, no model no mirror, no precedent.
No wonder, in spite of Simeon's warning, you weren't prepared that day in the temple. Exhausted, foregoing food and rest to find him, fuming perhaps (after all, he was twelve...and you've given him some freedom...and you've made this trip before!) Could this be a mistake? Had you carelessly handled God's precious Gift? Fear and guilt and the feeling you'd been somehow tricked. Did these loose your tongue to echo our own ready responses to inconsiderate children?
Mother of the Son of God, what lessons you had to learn! How patient Jesus was--returning home to be predictable until the time was right.
Was it then, beneath the cross, you learned it all? Jesus--Son, Savior. Mary--beloved, redeemed. We stand with you, Mary, beneath his cross, muddling through, misunderstanding, learning who we are by learning who he is.Jesus, help us hold these lessons deep with in our hearts.Donna Streufert
