As Kathleen Norris so beautifully reminds us today, "Dawn emerges out of night, and the first cry of life comes from the pain of childbirth."
The Christ Child was born under the poorest of circumstances.
Do you think that Mary knew, on the day after the birth of Christ, what his destiny would be?

I suspect that she did not. I can't imagine that Mary could realize the fullness of this child's destiny. In the days fresh with his birth, I can only think that Mary simply enjoyed the wonder and pleasure of motherhood - just to touch her child would ahve brought so much joy.
