Luke 11:27

And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you have nursed.

AD 430

Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh.
