Stations of the Cross Photoessay - 4 - Jesus meets his mother

I doubt the Virgin Mary was this calm during the Passion. But I also feel that her love and devotion graced her with the light from the heavens. Whether she cried and felt weak or she stood strong beside Jesus in his final hours, we shall never know. But inside, I feel she wanted to be present for him in all her love.

Statue is of the Virgin Mary at St Eustache Church in Paris, taken on a trip in July 2009.
