First. Listening to Christopher West's CD on TotB from the Gift Foundation (my favorite version of his talks, I don't know if this is from him or from PJP2): Because of sin, love became intimately united to suffering. (Meditation on Genesis 3:16-19.) Second. The anguish that Mary felt as the mother of Jesus is the same anguish the Father "felt" as the father to the same Son. Her union to Christ, is the same as her union to the Father intimately so because of her love and suffering for Christ. I may be committing some theological error though (though I am more confident in the truth of the first thought above, having come from someone more scholarly than myself), so correct me if so. God bless! --Michael Alabastro I want to share two things that came to mind while reading and meditating on this beautiful article.
