Choose Life.
Mom did.
Jesus' body was for Him not a limitation, but an instrument, so that He was both
in it and in all things, and outside all things, resting in the Father above. At
one and the same time - this is the wonder - as man He was a human life, and as
Word He was sustaining the life of the universe, and as Son He was in constant
union with the Father. — St. Athanasius of Alexandria
