The man who is always with you: the parable of my mother

How many good words are said about our mothers - do not count. And this is not surprising, because motherly love is akin to the love of God. She will always forgive, support, create the impossible for her child. Moreover, the Mother is the personification of life in general, she is the defender of mankind, the eternal grief-monger of his sorrows, the intercessor and the laywoman. No wonder the Virgin is holy, revered as one of the most important in Christianity. And in other religions of the world, the female, maternal origin, expressed in the guise of the goddesses-ancestors, from ancient times was the object of respect and worship.

Variety of parables

In Christian literature, one of the most popular genres is the parable. In a small-formatted story, not only important, serious information is transmitted in the allegorical form, but also high spiritual pathos. In addition to the accounts of Christ set forth in the Bible, many religious publications publish parables about their mother. Their content is diverse, but always wise and instructive.

• For example, this story will be useful for reading in families where at least two children are growing. One evening, the children, and there were five of them, asked their mother which of them she loved more. Mother lit six candles in turn and said: "One of them is me, my love for you. It's you, Misha, it's Sasha, Olya, Nastya. When Misha was born, the first-born, I gave him my heart. And Sasha appeared - my love warmed him, too, but the candle did not burn less brightly when, one after another, you were born! »What is the essence of this parable about my mother? No matter how many children she has, they are all the same, for everyone in her heart there is a place. Especially if they grow equally healthy, successful, caressed lives. If not, then more care, caress, attention falls to the one who is currently bad. This is the meaning of another parable about my mother. It also asked a woman who of her 10 sons gave her heart to a greater extent. And a wise woman replies: "To one who is sick now, until he is well; Someone who is tired, hungry, unemployed - until he rests, he does not find food, work, share, etc. And, of course, to the one who left the mother - until she comes back. And in the rest the mother belongs to the children equally and treats them equally. "
• It would be desirable to recollect and such variant of a parable about mum, more precisely, about its boundless, all-forgiving heart. Among the old Cossack songs there is one with a similar plot. It tells of a young man who fell in love with an evil beauty. She hated her mother-in-law, was jealous of her husband, she wanted only one young man to love her. She ordered him to kill his mother and bring her a living heart. Sad and touching this parable about my mother, because the guy carried out a cruel order. And how he carried his heart home, stumbled, hit, bleeding his leg. And his mother's heart felt sorry for him, and the words of sympathy whispered. Then the guy came to his senses - no one will ever love him forever and more unselfishly than his mother!
• There is also a miracle, similar to a Christmas fairy tale, about a mother. She is a guardian angel for a baby - that's what the Lord is talking about with the soul of the baby, which must be born to a young woman. It, i.e. Mother, will take care of her child, give him happiness, teach him to communicate with God, protect even at the cost of his life. Mom is the guardian angel who is always with us, even if he is no longer on Earth.
