Jesus, the Son of Mary

"This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, ..." 

- Mark 6:3

In Galatians 4:4, the Apostle Paul writes, "... when the completion of time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, ..." In John 19: 26-27, the Lord Jesus Chris entrusts the Apostle John to Mary as his mother, and since John represented all Christians, as our Mother too, and in turn, the mother is entrusted to John and to all of us. Hence she was present with the Apostles who gathered with one heart in constant prayer in Jerusalem waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit [see Acts 1:14]. Since Jesus Christ our Lord, Mary's son, is also God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Mary is called Theotokos, God-bearer, and aptly considered Mother of God.

Would you accept Mary as a mother having been given that blessed role by the Father to become His only-begotten Son's earthly mother? Or would you rather close your mind to her particular role in salvation history because you cannot understand that role?
