Just before He died, Jesus looked at His mother and at the disciple standing beside her. He said to her, "Woman, behold your son." Then to the disciple, "Behold your mother." (John 19:26-27)
That moment is why Christians began to call Mary the Mother of the Church. She wasn't only the mother of Jesus. In His last hours, in pain, He made sure she would not be left alone, and He gave her to all of us.
I find that deeply moving. Even on the Cross, He was thinking about her, and about us.
So if you ever feel like nobody is watching over you, remember that someone was given to you at the most important moment in history. Take a quiet minute today and talk to her, in your own words.
If this touched you, share it with someone who needs a little light. 🤍
