BLESSED THE WOMB
Luke 11: 27-28
Many times, I see the mothers who are very happy telling the success story of their children. “My son has a job now, thanks be to God.” This is only one of the many stories. For the rich people, this kind of story perhaps not so great to be proud. But, it is different if the poor family tells it.
Success is the source of joy for the mothers. In today’s Gospel, someone greets the mother of Jesus. “Blessed the womb that bore you….” This greeting means that Jesus is a good son. He makes his mother full of joy.
The joy for Jesus is more than this. Jesus stress on those who listen to the Word of God and observes it. This is another joy that more deeply than the first. We know that Mary, mother of God, is one who completes these things. She is an example for all the Christians.
Let us pray with her particularly in this period, dedicated as a rosary month.
Happy weekend.
