How’s this for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception? Mary retained living within her body the very physical body — cells, genes, etc. — of Christ. And Christ carried within his body her physical body.
Actually, this may have even wilder notions for the Feast of the Assumption: If Mary were not assumed bodily into Heaven, cells of Christ would have remained with her, within her corpse. The bodily resurrection of Christ was completed with the assumption of Mary. (I might want to double-check that one with a theologian...)
(I should be clear that I refer to the BODILY resurrection of Christ; of course his redemptive mission was accomplished by Easter, and in no way was ascension impeded.)
Ann Barnhardt just blogged on this very subject tonight.
Awesome.
Excellent connecting of some dots! Even more wonder and mystery to ponder in our minds and in our hearts!
