This week in Christ's life… (5)

This week, Jesus is 5 weeks old and his mother, Mary, has entered her second lunar month of pregnancy.  His brain has differentiated into the three main parts and the division between the cerebral hemispheres is well defined.  The tube protecting his spinal cord has closed.  His nasal passages are prominent and his permanent set of kidneys have formed.  Precious heart of Jesus, teach us to love all people, especially the newly developing baby.
