Enjoy this video interpretation of an excerpt from The Life of Jesus by Andrea Tornielli, and imagine what it would have been like for Mary to meet Jesus as he walked toward his Crucifixion.

Ahh! The exquisite tenderness of her hand on his cheek!
It brings me to tears to think of how our Blessed Mother must have felt when her eyes met Jesus her son on the way to giving up his life for us, and yet we do not reflect on this daily Jesus help me to hold your Mother’s hand
Be with us O Mary along the way – Guide every step we take.
Amen! Jesus gave us his mother at the cross, thank you Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of Lord’s
I am grateful for the needed reflections during Lent and the painful holy week of Easter. It is difficult to remain indifferent to God’s will and the sacrifices made for our salvation. I accept his mercy and the love shown. Our dear mother, Mary, was the bravest of them all. Her unconditional love is what our mothers provide.
Amen, I say. Am not worthy of Jesus’ forgiveness but do acknowledge and accept his sacrifice and everlasting love for mankind, whom he forgives forever and again. Thank you, Jesus, for not giving up on sinners, for always turning the other cheek even though we are not worthy.
The Jesuit perspective is so in line with my beliefs and faith…
Keep me on your lists for spiritual
information please
Beautiful reflection. I am suffering watching my adult son suffer from anger about things that don’t really matter and he won’t get help. I am afraid to approach him.
What a beautiful video & picture. So inspirational. THank you! Holy Week is my favorite time of the church year, all the special days & Holy Week services. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of these inspirational videos, reflections you provide for us. I love in this video how you have Jesus calling Mary, “momma”!

Thank you for this.
Very beautiful: just a glimpse of his mother must have meant such a lot to Jesus. But to have her touch Him – how wonderful!
Thanks for the reflections – all of them.

I hope you have found some help Meg.
Over 30 years ago a good friend took me to a series of talks on Ignatian contemplation.
Sister Pamela who was running the talks advised me to get a copy of ‘God of Surprises’, by the Scottish Jesuit Gerard W. Hughes. I also have his ‘Oh God, Why?: Journey Through Lent for Bruised Pilgrims.’
Contemplating and praying bible scenes has been a great help.
God Bless.
I can only imagine how Mary must have felt seeing her Son in so much pain and suffering . All his suffering was for us/me and I can only say, thank you Jesus, I love you.
Mary’s love for Jesus reminds me of my mother’s love for me.
I loved this reflection. I can’t imagine Mary’s pain at seeing what her son was going through. Yet she stayed with him all the way to his death.
I’m so appreciative of having these reflective ‘meditations’ … from Ignatian Spirituality :they reconnect me to the core of the liturgical ‘celebrations’ … of my Lord’s giving up His life for us /me !
When Mary met Jesus on His way to the cross, no words needed to be said, their mutually compassionate looks said it all. “Silence is God’s first language”.
