Bible Question:
What did Jesus mean when he was hanging on the cross and he told Mary "Mother, here is your son, Son, here is your mother." ? And Why do Catholics cross themselves? Why shouldn't them? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, He did this because he knew the life a widower had to live when there was no one to care for them. Mary was a widower and therefore had no one to care for her. It is probable that Joseph, her husband, was long since dead, and that her son Jesus had supported her, and her relation to him had been her maintenance; and now that he was dying what would become of her? Christ tenderly provided for his mother at his death. Christ's example teaches all men to honour their aged parents in life and death; to provide for their wants, and to promote their comfort by every means in their power. prayon I am not sure about the sign of the cross. You will have to ask that question again. |
