'I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed; he shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for his heel.' (GEN. 3, 15)
We adore you, O Christ,
and we praise You.
Because by your holy cross,
you have redeemed the world.
Now there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus, therefore, saw his mother and the disciple standing by, 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.
O blessed Lord, at your passion a sword of sorrow pierced the loving heart of your mother as Simeon had foretold. Grant that we who look back on her sorrows with compassion might receive the healing fruits of your sufferings. Amen.
