Anyone could pray in the outer Temple area, and Jesus ransacked a marketplace inappropriately set up there. He offered to tell priests and elders where He got the authority, but only if they answered whether the baptism offered by John the Baptist had heavenly or human origin. Scripture traces Jesus’ family tree. Although Divine, Jesus shared in humanity through His birth to the Virgin Mary. When two miraculously expectant mothers greeted each other, Elizabeth called Mary the Mother of the Lord, blessed for believing. When we question why God does not solve worldly problems, do we also pray for strength and understanding to act uprightly on our part?
