Mother

‘Mother of mine, you gave to me……… Mother Sweet mother of mine.’

Leaving perverts and those who are psychologically unstable, all of us love and want to be with our mothers. We want to be with them because we feel a sense of oneness with them. They have borne us in their womb for 9 months, not only this, they have undergone tremendous experiences of pain and sacrifice to see us grow.

                It is said that opposites attract, however this application can be kept aside when it comes to mothers. Our mothers love us without taking into consideration our maleness or femaleness. Their love for us is beyond compare. A mother is ready to do anything and willing to go to any extent to see her child happy.

                However while there are genuinely good mothers who care for their children, there are also mothers who absolutely don’t care for their children. We hear of cases where mothers have left their children in a bus / train, on a railway station and so on. Sometimes it is heartbreaking to see children who are removed from a dustbin or a wastepit. Some might condemn these mothers for doing such a heartless thing but we need to remember Jesus’ words ‘Judge not and you will not be judged’ and also Pope Francis’ words ‘Who am I to judge?’

                In the court of law, all sides are given due consideration and after putting all the broken pieces together, the judgment is passed. I suppose that judgment in Gods reign is also somewhat similar to this. When it comes to mothers they are usually less judgmental and more loving. Mother Mary can be called ‘The Mother of all mothers’. She bore the Son of God in her womb and suffered with Him from the time He was born unto His death.

                Today she intercedes for us, pleads for us to God and lifts us when we fall. She is like a connection between Jesus and us. She, being a loving mother is always willing to intercede for us.
