"We have a Lord who cries with us and walks with us in the most difficult moments of life.
He understands us because he underwent all the trials that we, that you, have experienced.
And beside the cross was his Mother.
We are like a little child in the moments when we have so much pain and no longer understand anything. All we can do is grab hold of her hand firmly and say "Mommy" -- like a child does when it is afraid.
It is perhaps the only word we can say in difficult times -- "Mommy".
Let us look to Christ on the cross. He understands us because he endured everything.
Let us look to our Mother and, like a little child, let us hold onto her mantle and with a true heart say -- "Mother". In silence, tell your Mother what you feel in your heart.
Let us know that we have a Mother, Mary, and a great Brother, Jesus.
We are not alone."
~Pope Francis
