It is known that the Blessed Virgin Mary is an archetype of all mothers. And a kid can sometimes feel her motherly goodness symbolically – through the godliness of his own family. increasing in the atmosphere of love creates an chance for a kid to compare the experience of life in a household with the imagined life without family, resulting in the eventual conclusion: Nothing like family!
Even to the degree of her own young age, the kid sees that under no another circumstances would she experience the love and tenderness that is summarized in the words: a good family.
However, while household means a group of people, there is simply a word that means 1 individual who is the most complete of its essence, namely the word: mother. A good parent is the personification of love and affection.
And no another way than through contact with the mother, the kid begins to realize what goodness, care and sacrifice is. He starts to see that his parent never gets tired or bored of being with him. For the actual mother's taking care of the child, watching all the manifestations of his activity, holding him in her arms, or being buried in a pile of questions and seemingly ridiculous problems never gets tired and bored. On the contrary, it is the joy of her life.
A man who experienced the joy of having a good parent in his childhood – despite later learning the hard or even cruel realities of life – will hold paradise memories. And these will aid him to endure in the hope of Heaven's Paradise, where the Holy parent awaits us with open arms.
