Gospel Reflection

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother
and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
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

Point for Reflection

Jesus gave Mary to us as our mother and he gave us to her as her children. What does this mean to me?
