“Dear woman, here is your son…Here is your mother.”

Station 3 - Mother

John 19:25-27 

25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

As Jesus was dying, He saw His mother. He realized that she was about to be left to care for herself. So, in an astonishing act of re-creation and foreshadowing his resurrection and the new family of God, the Church, he asked one of his disciples to care for her. From there on out, Mary became a part of the disciple’s home. The disciple took Mary in as his own mother, and she adopted him as her son.
