Mary stood at the foot of the cross during the hours of Jesus’ most painful passion. How profoundly did Mary feel and enter into the sufferings of her Son for the salvation of the world. Having experienced the depths of human suffering, she is able to enter also into our suffering and bring her motherly comfort and succor. Let us invite Mary to take up abode in our hearts and bring us her comfort and consolation.
ALLELUIA
R: Alleluia, alleluia
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord.
R: Alleluia, alleluia
John 19:25-27 (or Luke 2:33-35 or Luke 7:36-50)
25 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
