The Seven Last Words of Christ: Here Is Your Mother
Parents are not supposed to bury their children. Â This situation, more so than the rest, was not supposed to happen. Â Innocent are not supposed to be punished. Â Gods are not supposed to be killed. Jesus understood that His mission and goals were expressly different than how the world expected Him to be and do. Â He simply could not leave without caring for Mary and ensuring that she would be taken care of. Â Thus, He looked to John, the Beloved, to care for Mary as he would his own mother. Â Through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the two would be bound together not as acquaintances or friends, but as family cares for one another.
