Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother.
To the disciple , he said, this is your mother.
We all have an earthly mother.
But in heaven, too, we have our mother.

After happiness comes sorrow.
But joy is for ever .
Joy is for this day , every day and tomorrow.
Now or whenever.

Before all other shrines.
She came to Walsingham.
The first but not the last of many signs.
Here is the Holy lamb.

Her sorrow turned in an instant to joy.
Our sorrows after this life will turn we pray to joy.

……..

Near Jesus’ cross
Stood his mother now weeping
For him and for us

See John 19: 25-27
