And one of the wolves has my name on it. God’s love is so far beyond what we can muster that words fail me.

JESUS CHRIST’S DEATH ON THE CROSS
Jesus Christ’s will was and is in perfect conformity to the will of His Father in heaven. When Christ said that His Father is greater than Himself, Christ put His Father before Himself.
God, the Creator loves us into existence, an existence that only Mary, the Blessed Virgin appreciated to bring the Blessed Virgin Mary into the Immaculate Conception. The Blessed Virgin Mary’s will was in perfect conformity to God, the Father’s will.
Christ did His Father’s will. Mary was asked by Jesus to undertake the burden of being our Mother and loving mankind in perfect conformity to Jesus Christ’s will. Jesus was doing His Father’s will. Mary was doing God, the Father’s will and Christ’s will.
God, the Father, Jesus and now Mary have an intimate and personal relationship with every human being in creation.
With the fall of man and death being the retribution required of man to satisfy the Divine Majesty of God, death on the cross was the only way Jesus could know man individually and intimately. Christ chose death on the cross rather than lose any one soul.
The Blessed Virgin Mary could not make retribution to almighty God to satisfy the Divine Majesty because Mary was not Divine.
Some people say that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross but got down and sailed to France with Mary Magdalen. Christ and Magdalen supposedly begot the Carolingian and the Merovingian royal families whose descendants are siting on the royal thrones in Europe enjoying the Divine Right of Kings
Dan Brown in his DaVinci Code tries to prove that DaVinci painted Mary Magdalen next to Christ in his painting of The Last Supper.
Two truths rattle that concept. The first being that women were not allowed at Passover meals. Men, the heads of households represented their wives and children at Passover and the Temple. Secondly, Mary Magdalen was the spiritual sister of Jesus Christ as all mankind are brothers and sisters of Christ. So, any marital union of Christ is incestuous, that would include those individuals who claim that Jesus Christ was homosexually involved with His Apostles. Surely Christ could not have ascended into heaven with such a heavy burden of sin on his soul and especially that of not doing the will of His Father.
In the Catholic Church there is a spiritual bond that prevents marriage in the Sacrament of Baptism. Christ was baptized in the river Jordan.
replace the word “retribution” with the word “expiation” Thank you.
