“Our Father Who art in heaven …” Is God “Our Father”? The great Jewish theologian, Moses Maimonides
thought that human names weren’t sufficient for God. Let us use another
insufficient but perhaps more powerful analogy – God “Our Mother”.
The prophet
Isaiah reported:
Zion says, (49:14) / ”The Lord has
forsaken me. / My Lord has forgotten me.”/ (15) Can a woman forget her baby, Or
disown the child, the child of her womb?
Can
immigration law be so absurd as to threaten to separate a mom from her dying
child? It is. – she sent a letter from the
jail and described her son as one of God’s angels.
Mater Dolorosa pray for us now and at
the hour of our death.
Can
immigration law be so absurd to deport a man – a grandfather with a family who
arrived as a child, then graciously allows him to return to his mom in a
casket? Yes – and she buried him piously in Faith – she knows there is more to the
story.
Mater Dolorosa pray for us now and at
the hour of our death.
The hope of
a Honduran family with several young children, born in Honduras and the U.S.,
is to work to get enough money in the U.S. to afford to get enough land and
tools to own a small farm in Honduras. The
family moves quite often to avoid detection.
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us now
and at the hour of our death.
Can
immigration law be so absurd as to depend on the competence of a lawyer to
avoid the separation of a family? Such
is the case of a mom whose husband could be deported because their lawyer was
late in filing papers.
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us now
and at the hour of our death.
“Behold! the angels said, ‘O Mary
Allah has chosen you and purified you chosen you above the women of all
nations.’ “ (Qur’an, 39:42)
