Week 35 - The Journey
"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 19:26-27
The fulfillment of salvation. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." John 1:1-2. Jesus gives us His greatest treasure other than Himself, His mother. It all started in the Garden of Eden and now His hour has come, the price for original sin has been paid.
How do we feel about Mary? Does she play a role in our salvation? Remember it was the woman who listened to the serpent and began the journey. Now she has been given the role as our mother. Adam named the woman twice, "this one shall be called woman" Genesis 2:23 and "The man gave his wife the name "Eve," because she was the mother of all the living." Genesis 3:20

Jesus calls her by her first name, woman, her nature never changed she was exactly as God created her in the Garden. Watch how the world treats Mary that will tell you who she is. Our own discipleship needs Mary within it, the Son of Man was raised by Mary. He knew what she as His mother did for Him. She plays a hidden role in the life of Jesus and now Jesus gives us this gift of Mary. Behold, your mother." And from that hour the DISCIPLE took her into his home.
What is God saying to me? She is the Queen Mother of all those living in Christ. She like Jesus, plays a role in your salvation, only she points to My Son and watches as My children grow.
Dear Father, Your Holy Family is a family and we, those who believe, see the truth. Help us see the beauty of our mother Mary in our own discipleship. Help us accept her guidance and her graces that draws us in deeper to Your covenant family. Prayers for souls guided by the serpent, prayers for Mother Mary to intercede on our behalf. Bless this day Father and use me as You will, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us
