Oh, to be a fly on the wall.....!

I just finished reading The Jesuit Guide to (almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life by James Martin, SJ. It was an enjoyable read. The author has a remarkable ability to communicate his thesis in a manner more akin to sharing a story with your uncle on the front porch, in the heat of a South Carolina summer (while drinking sweet tea of course). The book is popular Catholic spirituality that is accessible to all readers. I do recommend it.
As someone who is new to Catholicism, I have only the slightest degree of familiarity with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The author describes these exercises and their application to everyday life. There was one specific part of the Exercises that caught my attention immediately, though. In fact, I put the book down to ponder this portion.
Towards the end of the Exercises, retreatants are invited to contemplate the Resurrection of Christ, generally. One specific example of this meditation, offered by St. Ignatius, really intrigued me. He suggests to ponders the meeting of Jesus and His Mother, after the Resurrection. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!
Of course, scripture is silent on this meeting. However, logically, it would eventually have taken place. Besides, the meetings' absence from Holy Writ should not trouble a Catholic, or any Christian for that matter, due to the fact that scripture NEVER states that it is the only source for Christian beliefs. As an aside, more that three centuries passed wherein Christians did not have an official, standardized canon. During this time, Christians worshipped, prayed, and held beliefs, without a Bible. But I digress.
Imagine the amazing meeting between Christ and His Holy Mother! What joy! What tears! I think it is quite certain that Mary knew something was afoot, from the visitation of the Angel Gabriel. But, even if she knew down to the very last detail, I doubt it would have stunted her reaction in any way. A mother's love is usually unbounded. The Blessed Mother's love for her Son would likely have surpassed all loves, since it was also a love for God (as Jesus was and is the Second Person of the Godhead). I don't think there would have been a dry eye in the house, at this meeting. This would be like Heaven. Any ambiguity of the crooked lines of God's planned of redemption were clarified in that meeting. It was Christ returning home to His Blessed Mother and, also, Her (and all possible bystanders) getting a glimpse of Heaven, where "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, (for) the old order has passed away."

Christ's appearance to His Blessed Mother and all others is a culmination of revelation and a preview of His statement, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!"
