Sept. 15, 2012 – John 19:25-27 – The Crucifixion of Jesus


Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of
Clopas and Mary Magdalena. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then, he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

Father Patrick Fitzpatrick said that today is the Feast of our Lady of Sorrows, Mary at the foot of the cross in Calvary with Jesus. She was receiving the body of Jesus in linen shroud for the burial of Jesus. Mary said, “I have to let you go.”
