That was Joseph's family you quoted.The sun and the moon and the stars!
Types and figures:
The sun a type of Jesus the son of justice, who by His passion and cross merits eternal light and life!
The moon a type of Mary!
The stars a type of the saints!
As the stars and moon get light from the sun and not of themselves so they reflect the glory of the eternal son of God!
But as the moon was s much brighter than the stars so is Mary the greatest and most highly exalted among the saints! And is the queen of the angels and saints!
Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great sign in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Genesis
The greater light to govern the day!
Those who live in the state of grace, the kingdom of justice! Jesus rules the kingdom of justice!
The lesser light to govern the night, those who live in sin, the refuge of sinners, mother of divine grace and mercy! Mary rules the kingdom of mercy!
Just as Esther found favor with the king and received half the kingdom, so does Mary! Lk 1:30
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary!
The sun was his mother, the moon was his father and the 11 stars were his brothers.
