The birthing of a child, yes, with labor and pain, nevertheless results in a beautiful new life. Joy replaces the pain and wonder never ceases as the days and months unfold the miracle of new life.
So it is as Mary brings forth Jesus constantly to us, helping us to discover the new life he gave us by his life and calling us into a deeper participation into it. If we would but let him "be born" in us daily, through the events, even the trying ones, (no pain, no gain), we could share the joys that come to new parents...and better deal with the demands life places on us as they do with the feeding, changing, crying and screaming, the interrupted sleep...all that goes with parenthood. Three cheers for motherhood...human and spiritual.
