I blog about the Mother of Jesus and the Father of Buddha catholicscot.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/mother-of-lord-father-of-buddha.html So both the King and the Nazarene maiden were presented with the prospect of a child who would or could be associated with royal glory and also with religious mission. The difference being that King Suddhodana had an either/or choice and the Blessed Virgin a both/and prospect. For Jesus to enter upon His royal throne He must first become a sign of contradiction and source of scandal and Mary herself would have to feel a sword piercing agony.
