Jn 19: 25-34

The scene is both tender and heartbreaking. The Mother and the beloved disciple remain with Jesus until the end. They are together in that moment and will remain so at Jesus’ instruction. The Church is born, and Mary is and will always be her mother.

Pray for us, Holy Mother of God. May we, the Church, carry on your Son’s mission until he comes again.
