Marys Way Of The Cross Walking With The Mother Of Jesus
Walking the Way of the Cross with Mary. What does that mean?
Mary embodies the vocation Christ has entrusted to each of us as his disciples. She models unwavering faith and trusting surrender. She loves with her whole being, and her love makes her ready to accept anything and everything, even to share the cross of her son. As we walk beside Mary to Calvary, as we converse intimately with her along the Via Dolorosa, we learn to open our hearts more completely to Christ. Mary, his mother and ours, teaches us how to take up our own cross and follow Jesus in a spirit of limitless love and undying hope.
