Anne and Judas of Merom
Old couple of winemaker owners from Méron, friends of Jesus.
At Anne and Jude's, Jesus makes a speech to the harvesters. Then he heals the young son of their maid who suffers from paralysis following a fall from a terrace. He is about ten years old. His mother, at the bottom of the stairs, presents him as if to offer him to Jesus who is at the top of the steps. She is so moved that she trembles while carrying her son. And when climbing the stairs, she gets entangled in her long garment.
"One day, it was in the early days when I was evangelizing, this mother prevented me from missing you, so gentle was she with your tired Son." Jesus confided to Mary.[1]They are a couple who Homely the faithful and restore them.
"What is done to a disciple is done to the Master, and even a single cup of Water or a bread given to help someone who tires for Me will find a reward with God Himself." "Oh! Lord, allow me to Call my Jude. Your word is so holy!..."Despite a dying husband, Anne will come at his request to supplicate Jesus to convert their sons who have become hostile to Jesus, though they were his pride:
"I am a mother, too, and I have sons who are wise. When I hear them speak, my Heart beats with pride."[2]Jesus cannot lie, but he does not want to cause pain to the dying man:
"You will tell him 'The Master said he blesses you and that with you, he blesses your blood.' It is his blood too, this innocent childhood and I have blessed it, he answers."This childhood is that of the three grandchildren of Anne and Jude: Jude and Mary and the little youngest Jude (also him).[3]

The Virgin Mary has compassion. She reassures her, gently smiles at the child and helps the mother by carrying him. Then Mary kneels and says only: "Son! For this mother!"
Jesus heals him without asking his usual questions to verify the desire of the person and their faith. He then explains to Anne, the hostess, that it was enough for Mary to hold him in her arms: as She is happy to console all misfortune, Jesus wants to please her."And between Jesus and Mary it is one of those looks that only those who have seen can understand, so deep is their meaning."[4]This highlights the power of Mary as mediator of all Grace, when one mentally places oneself in her arms as Mother.
Apostolic Journey
