A miracle, miracles--the pity and devotion of God's son when He told God's secrets to you, dearest of mothers, and your belief in precepts you carried through a life you made ever more loving. He formed your unworldly love in His mind, then incarnated it in your and His limited flesh, then in the strongest act closed the bond forever and renewed it in Paradise. If he was born, died, climbed to God--friend, refuge, servant, mother--you're with Him. Gentle Husband, noble Father cherished Son--perfect for a life tender, resolute, eager, loving--a wonder. |
