We are all "brothers and sisters in Christ" it is not fitting then that the Blessed Virgin Mary be our Heavenly Mother given to us by Christ himself on the cross! Aren't we all that "disciple" at the foot of the cross?
"To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae..." Collosians 1:2
Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"..." John 19:27
Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of us even though it was Christ alone who reposed on her knees… If he is ours, we ought to be in his situation; there where he is, we ought also to be and all that he has ought to be ours, and his mother is also our mother. —MARTIN LUTHER, Sermon, Christmas, 1529.
