HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MAMA MARY !


 



PAINTING BY : SCOTT SLIGTING 

 This coming Mother's Day I'd like to share a story...


One December dawn last year after praying my rosary and upon opening my fone, this was the first picture in Instagram that I saw, I bawled my eyes out because i was feeling very off and depressed and seeing Jesus depicted hugging a woman in red, made me feel so loved 💓and assured and fired up.

The painting really did something to me it was like being given a deep long hug by God, an unexplainable experience, remembering it I still get teary-eyed. 

 I wanted to write and thank the painter for the experience, so I did, with the burning future dream that one day I'll buy that particular painting. 

I browsed his website and saw that the woman Jesus was embracing was none other than MAMA MARY!!! Titled,  BE STILL MY HEART, with a caption, A STUNNING  PAINTING OF THE SAVIOR EMBRACING HIS MOTHER MARY the more that i bawled my eyes out again imagine that, I felt suddenly that I was somewhere in the middle of Jesus and Mary being group hugged!!! insignificant me in the midst of these two powerful loving beings.

The surprise and blessings didn't end there. 

Mr. SCOTT SLIGTING the painter himself answered! He was so kind and humble that I had the gall to suggest,(shameful and ignorant of me, my apologies Sir Brother Scott🙏 )  lol me knowing nothing about paintings even told him of a  wish that there will be more of   Mama Mary that was clothed in blue as is always depicted in Catholic art. 

( My brother Mark, scolded me saying did you even forget to realize that red is a symbol of MARTYRDOM?  That being Jesus' mother, Mama Mary clothed in red meant she shared in Jesus every pain suffering, heartbreak, and grief.) 

to my amazement, he conversed in my language ( Filipino) and found out that he and his family had been already going back and forth to the Philippines as a missionary in the Northern Region of the Philippines. Thank you so much for helping my countrymen Brother Sir.

He offered to give me a copy of the painting! I was so humbled, it was a kindness i will never forget, plus it was the best Christmas present that I have received, for it was not just a painting, but love and hugs from Jesus and Mama Mary through Brother Scott's painting. ( his paintings can be ordered at his website link posted above, proceeds go to charity and the many communities that they sponsor.) 

Now it graces my room and it never fails to make me feel so loved by the Lord Jesus and Mama Mary. One day it will grace a building that anyone who enters it and sees it will feel too that wonderful hug of love.

Ah, how it makes me grieve when people bash and malign Mama Mary, they fail to realize and see that Jesus loved her so much and loved us so much too that he left us to her to aid us and love us. They fail to see His example in Jesus' last words in Jn 19:26-27 Woman behold your son, son behold thy mother. There are no orphans if only people realize and believe that we have a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. She isn't Queen of Heaven and Earth and Queen of Angels for nothing. 

I'd like to end this with a scientific and beautiful word for those who cannot accept the MOtherhood of Mama Mary and why Catholics hold her dear like our very own Mama. MICROCHIMERA
