"Behold, your mother!" – John 19:27
"These were some of the last words spoken by Jesus from the cross. In Mary, the salvation of the world saw its dawning in her fiat with which she readily agreed to the will of God. The Son of God took human form in her. Mary mothered Jesus. Her heart beat in unison with his heart."
