Im Not Religious But This Quote Brought Me To Tears And Had Me Looking At The Holy Family In A More Human Light Instead Of Just Deities - Tumblr Posts

I want to add that Mary probably didn’t know the extent of what was going to happen when she said “yes” to becoming the mother of The Son of God. She was going to be a mother and isn’t that already something so wonderful?

She was going to have these ten little toes and ten little fingers eating bread with her and giggling when she tickled him. A Son blessed by God that would’ve played with little wooden donkeys because his Father, Joseph, made them as a gift for him. She probably didn’t know that her baby boy would’ve been scared the night before and praying so earnestly for the same people that sent him to be crucified, humiliated him, spat at him and didn’t believe in him, to be forgiven by God. Maybe he even prayed that his Mother’s heart wouldn’t ache so painfully when he goes. Do you think she knew that she’d have to sacrifice her son to the people the same way a queen sacrifices her young boy child to the kingdom when there is no king to rule anymore? That when they pulled him off of the cross after everything was done, she wept not for someone dying a cruel and unjust death, but because her son was back into her arms like he was as a new born? She had him to herself again. That was her baby again. The one who played with her hair and fiddled with her ears. The one who slept next to her on the bed and cried when he fell and got consoled by his parents..

do you guys think jesus, the son of a carpenter, smelt the wood of the cross & temporarily thought of home
