Mary

Hello, crisis actors.

It's Mary.

Happy Friday.

Brett's moving me around right now.

So we've got that.

We've got a bunch of other stuff.

If you're ready to go, Mary, we can go.

Are you ready?

Five, the pain of the Mother of God.

Our Panagia, the All-Holy Mother, felt the pain, the lamentation of the death of her son on the cross in the depths of her virgin heart.

It would be reasonable to say that the entire life of the Mother of God was a deep pain, and this because the All-Holy Mother brought into the world a divine infant, an earthly and heavenly child that she raised in joy and fear in order to be led to the cross.

She knew this very well and continuously lived with the grief of the cross.

This pain continuously grew as she would see Jesus being looked upon with contempt, scorned, cursed, insulted, and persecuted.

Of course, we do not have information about the pain of the Mother of God in the New Testament, nor about her grief and lament.

Only in the Gospel of St. Luke do we read about the prophecy of Simeon on the day of the presentation of the Lord to the temple.
