“The tradition of the church has always upheld in spite of minimizing responses to this question that one might come across, that our Lord appeared to his mother in his resurrection. It almost goes without saying because of course she is the place and the person off his incarnation and the annunciation. And she stood at and she initiated his ministry with the wedding at Cana and the miracle at Cana, which she works in view of his hour, which he seems to be hastening in response to her request.
And then she’s standing at the foot of the cross and then she’s at Pentecost praying with the first church, first Christian Church. And so of course, our Lord appeared to her in his resurrection. So there’s no reason to say that for that she would be intimately involved with all those mysteries of the faith, but for some reason just had been shunted aside for his resurrection. There’s a deeper meaning for it.” -Fr. Hugh Barbour
