Many of the Church try not to elivate Mary above the status of an ''on looker''. What can we learn of her role or place in the bible ? Do suffering Mums have special comfort available through the Holy Spirit Can suffering Mums be waylaid in their walk to or with God by empathasising too closely with Mary?

But I could be wrong as I have never really considered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the cross Jesus even looked at John and Mary and said - Woman behold your son, son your mother.She holds no special position and is equal to any of the saints that have gone ahead or are living today.
