Mother Mary Statue

Statues depicting images of the Blessed Mother always tug at the heartstrings of some Christians.

The mother of Jesus suffered so greatly in life.

She willingly became a teenage mother while remaining a pure virgin.

She raised her little son until he became a man.

Then, she had to see him suffer a horrendous passion and then death.

She must have been so terribly sad.

The statue of Mary shown in today's post decorates a side altar at a Catholic church in western Massachusetts.

There were white flowers at Mary's feet, a fitting gift for this truly beautiful mother with a tender and loving heart.
