Jesus meets his sorrowful mother.
We adore you O’ Christ and we praise you
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
No one on this earth has loved or will ever love Jesus more than his mother Mary. The two are as one heart, sharing the same blood in their veins. No other person could have been impacted by the torture of Jesus passion more than Mary who knew Jesus’ passion was the consequence of sin. And yet Mary is called the Mother of Mercy, appearing throughout the world to individuals and large gatherings of people encouraging us to pray for our conversion and the conversion of the world so that we may find the purpose of our life in her Son, Jesus. Our love for Mary will help us to deepen our love for her Son.
