This Sunday I had this urge to go to Church. It is not a easy thing as I have to drive 80 kms and back. But I decided to honour this urge and drive on. On the way while listening to the stereo and in the Church, I don't know why the prayers to Mother Mary kept touching a chord.
I am not a person who worships Mary, but belong to the denomination that respects her. Later in the day I learnt that it was the Mother's Day. Day where mothers and their role are celebrated
There is no better icon for a Mother's Day than Mary. Deeply misunderstood in her times, got pregnant before she was married and that too in a patriarchal society. She was nearly abandoned and then had to flee her country, gave birth , alone and in a cattle shed. Had to see her son drawing ire of the establishment and then get killed at 33. She is still despised by her own sect, the Jews
Can we see a better example
