During last night's rosary, while saying the 3rd Joyful mystery (the Birth of Jesus) I started thinking about my friend's tiny newborn son who was baptized this Sunday. The image was of him sleeping so deeply and peacefully on his dad's chest while his little arms clung to his daddy's shirt with a death grip. And it hit me: this is how Jesus clung to his mother, with everything that he had, and this is how we are called to cling to her as well. We are just as helpless and vulnerable and we need her just as much!
