Couple more points …to make the above a little less controversial still…
In Matthew 12 - 42, The Lord warns of the queen of the south ( Queen Sheba of course ) being able to bring judgements …her merit was she had chosen to come and hear the wisdom of Solomon …
How about the Bl.Mother, who , even as the seat of wisdom, not only chose to come …but bring with her , the possibly less than eager brothers, to hear the wisdom of The Lord …and what she continue to do… to this day …
The next passages too, curiously make more sense when we can consider Bl. Mother’s role …the evil spirit, who goes out to ’ find rest in arid regions ’ - ?a refernce to the evil one, not being satisfied enough with his ‘rest’ in the lives of the ?unbaptised - those who do not have the life giving waters of the Sacraments …and returns - to find the house ’ swept clean ’ … sweeping - a woman’s role , may be akin to one who begins life, in The Church …yet that Woman is not there when the unclean spirit returns …and hence he dares to bring back seven more …? pointing to the danger , of the absence of the all powerful and protective role of the seven Sacraments , in The Church … The Mother , whom He possibly has already seen , with love and reverence , in the midst of those difficult brothers, in the crowd , as an icon of the foundational virtue of humility !
May the presence of The Family - The Most Holy Trinity, angels and saints and of love for each other , be what fill our own lives !
