The Sorrows of Mary

Mary is our mother not so much because she is the Mother of Jesus and gave birth to Him,

But because she stood at the foot of His cross and shared in His sufferings.

For it was from the Cross,

That Jesus said to John and says to us;

“Behold your Mother.”

And so when we share in the sufferings of Christ and the sufferings of others,

Mary will stand at the foot of our cross,

And be our Mother as well.
