How many kind words have been said to our mothers - do not count. And this is not surprising, because maternal love is akin to the love of God. She will always forgive, support, do the impossible for her child. Moreover, the Mother is the personification of life in general, she is the protector of mankind, the eternal mourner of his sorrows, intercessor and suppliant. No wonder the Mother of God is a saint, revered as one of the main ones in Christianity. And in other religions of the world, the feminine, maternal principle, expressed in the guise of progenitor goddesses, has been an object of respect and worship since ancient times.

Variety of parables

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

• For example, this story will be useful for families with at least two children. One evening, the children, and there were five of them, asked their mother which of them she loved more. The mother lit 6 candles in turn and said: “One of them is me, my love for you. This is you, Misha, this is Sasha, Olya, Nastya. When Misha, the firstborn, was born, I gave him my heart. And Sasha appeared - my love warmed him too, but the candle did not burn less brightly even when, one after the other, you were born! What is the essence of this parable about mother? No matter how many children she has, they are all the same dear, for everyone there is a place in her heart. Especially if they grow up equally he althy, successful, caressed by life. If not, then more care, affection, attention goes to the one who is feeling bad at the moment. This is the meaning of another parable about mother. It also asks a woman which of the 10 sons gave her heart to a greater extent. And the wise woman answers: “To the one who is sick now, until he recovers; to those who are tired, hungry, unemployed - until they rest, find food, work, share, etc. And, of course, to those who left their mother - until they return to her. Otherwise, the mother belongs to the children equally and treats them equally.”

  I would like to remember this version of the parable about my mother, more precisely, about her boundless, all-forgiving heart. Among the old Cossack songs there is one with a similar plot. It tells about a young man who fell in love with an evil beauty. She hated her mother-in-law, was jealous of her husband, wanted only herone young man loved. She ordered him to kill his mother and bring her living heart. This parable about mother is sad and touching, because the guy fulfilled a cruel order. And as he carried his heart home, he stumbled, hit himself, broke his leg in the blood. And the mother's heart took pity on him, whispered words of sympathy. Then the guy came to his senses - after all, no one will forever love him more and more disinterestedly than his mother!

• There is also a wonderful, similar to a Christmas tale, parable about mother. She is a guardian angel for a baby - this is what the Lord speaks about with the soul of a baby who is to be born to a young woman. She, i.e. mother will take care of her child, give him happiness, teach him to communicate with God, protect him even at the cost of his life. Mom is that guardian angel who is always with us, even if he is no longer on Earth.

Here is such an amazing person given to us by Nature and God - mom!
