"Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home." John 19:25-27
Our Lenten journey - Good Friday: I find myself contemplating the cross that Mary was asked to carry and she willingly said yes. She experienced the fullness of joy in giving birth to our Lord and she experienced the fullness of suffering in witnessing Him being tortured and crucified. "(and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Luke 2:35. Women are the unsung hero's within this world following in the foot steps of Mary. They may not get the recognition they deserve but they quietly carry their faith in a lot of households. Be sure to recognize their strength along with Jesus this Easter.
Dear Father, I thank You for this spiritual journey that we are all on, may we recognize the strength that Mary had and is available to us when we ask for it. Thank You Father for dying for my sins so I may live forever, help me not miss an opportunity to speak to the truth You have instilled within me. Awaken others Lord to become Your disciples and continue to build Your Kingdom here on earth with Holy and devout people. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
