Let It Be
When Paul McCartney sang,
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Who was 'Mother Mary', his mother, or the Virgin Mary ?
Answers
I was not brought up a Catholic, but my mother had great respect for one of the nuns in the local convent who taught music, and I was sent to her to learn to play the piano.
This nun would speak prayers while I was practicing scales, and would tell me uplifting stories about " The Holy Mother" or "Mary, Mother of God" or "Holy Mary, Mother of God".
This was in Northern Ireland, in the fifties.
Any child in that era, Catholic or not, could have been influenced by such references to religious figures.
but giving birth to Jesus doesn't make her a minor player either
HI fivey ! at least you have read the Bible. Romans will happily pray to Saints who are deffo not divine. Called intercessionary prayer. No-no in the Anglican Church
BUT someone mentioned the muvva of Jesus. How did The Virgin ( original sin , no baptism geddit?) carry the divine little baby jesus around for 9 months ? Surely she must have been without sin herself? - = immaculate conception ( NO not virgin birth, everyone believes THAT you damned atheists ! )
god that will get the mods seething
