Holy Week Art Walk
Station 3: Mother
|
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
- John 19:26-27 |
“On the road
Jesus see his mother
Mary
Her eyes wide
With fear and anguish
She is his mother and her heart is shattering
But she knows
This is his destiny
She wants to rush in and hold him
Tend to his wounds
She stand firm--a pillar of silence and love
She watches him as he turns his face toward Calgary”
