Thank you Jesus, for condescending to the level of a child and identifying with our mundane struggles as human beings. He is genuinely worthy of our respect and trust. Even down to the smallest deoxyribonucleic acid, Jesus was without sin. The blood of the Father determines a child's DNA - not the mother. The fact that she was supernaturally impregnated, (without having intercourse with a human man), solidifies His virgin birth and confirms Jesus' lack of a sin nature. What a dizzy feeling of awe she must have felt knowing that she was chosen to be in Jesus' bloodline. I LOVE IT! Mary's story proves that God does not support the oppression and exclusion of ethnics, women, teens, (or infants for that matter), from His work. Instead, He crossed all gender, socio-economic, political, ethnic, and class lines and selected this politically incorrect, and (need I mention, as yet unmarried, although she was engaged to Joseph at the time), young Jewish teenager to entrust with the genius plan of salvation for all mankind. In all the hordes of religious and academic elite, God the Father couldn't find ONE humble soul that He could trust to partner with Him in His fantastic plan to rescue mankind from themselves. Peril, that is, hell on earth and elsewhere, otherwise, remains an option, an option He has not rescinded, so great is His love.Д®ven more remarkable than the fact that Mary was a woman (women were second-class citizens in that era) was the fact that she was a teenager. Subsequently, whether through her appearances at Lasalette and elsewhere or through her felt presence at the bedside of dying loved ones or through our doing throughout the day as she did, pondering, we too opt or opt not to do as she continues to do and advises us to do, to turn toward her Son and to remember and to do as He says and does, if we chose to do what is good for us. She had been through this before, having previously experienced the Holy Spirit's descending upon her. However, there He did teach her that not only was she mother to Him but also mother to us, a role she took on as soon as during the following week when awaiting the Holy Spirit, she calmed the apostles, advising them to quietly and observantly wait, perceive, and discern. Therefore, the healing and the saving that followed, as detailed in the Lowry's lyrics, she had pondered and understood, which enabled her to be the serene face Christ saw at the foot of cross. When she brought Christ to the temple at eight days old for circumcision and once a year every year for Passover before and after He missed the caravan home when He was twelve or so, Mary was forming him, not knowing He was the incarnate 'I am.' However, by Cana, she knew. How much did Mary know and when? Before Christ's conception, she knew what Gabriel told her, that is, that she would conceive without having known man. I think that's where the pain in my heart comes from, and thus the tears when I hear this lovely song. I truly believe the combination of my relationship with God and Him giving me the blessing of being a mother makes me put myself in Mary's shoes, subconsciously seeking to answer the question: Did she know all the miracles her baby boy, our Wonderful Savior, Jesus would perform? And how horribly He would suffer for all the sin of all mankind, nailed to that cross on Calvary? No matter how old our children become, aren't they always our 'babies' in our hearts? The thought of my precious daughter being in His shoes is more than I can bear. To my surprise, I have wept EVERY SINGLE TIME I have heard this song! Tonight, I watched a saved episode of a singing competition in which the eventual winner sang a beautiful rendition of this song and despite my resolve to just listen and NOT get emotional, the tears started flowing.

I've asked myself that question so many times! The first time I heard it in my car several years ago, my then 10 year old daughter asked 'Why are you crying, Mommie?' I didn't know, so I just told her it was a sad song. I found this page when I searched 'Why do I weep every time I hear Mary, Did You Know?'.
