4th Station

4th Station (Saint Patrick, Cleve., O.)
IV Jesus meets his Mother
4. Jesús encuentra a su madre


John xix ― 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. 26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. 27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.


25 Stabant autem juxta crucem Jesu mater ejus, et soror matris ejus, María Cléophæ, et María Magdaléne. 26 Cum vidísset ergo Jesus matrem, et discípulum stantem, quem diligébat, dicit matri suæ : Múlier, ecce fílius tuus. 27 Deínde dicit discípulo : Ecce mater tua. Et ex illa hora accépit eam discípulus in sua.


La liberación de Cristo, hermanos, es ternura, es amor, es la presencia de una madre bondadosa: María. Y María es el modelo de quienes colaboran con Cristo para la liberación de la tierra y la adquisición del cielo. María en su cántico de acción de gracias proclama las grandezas de Dios y también proclama que Dios desecha el orgullo de los poderosos y enaltece a los humildes ― Monsenor Romero. Marzo 24, 1978


Brothers, the liberation of Christ is tenderness; it’s love; it’s the presence of a loving mother, Mary. And Mary is the model of those who collaborate with Christ for the liberation of the earth and the acquisition of heaven. Mary, in her song of thanksgiving, proclaimed the greatness of God and also proclaims that God rejects the pride of the powerful and exalts the humble.
