Woman, behold your son

Sister Laurie Brink, OP, preaches on the Seven Last Words at St. James Cathedral, Seattle, on Good Friday, 2018. The third word is taken from the Gospel according to John (19:25-27): "Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your Son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home."
