Behold thy Mother (Easter Saturday)

 

"When we go before Jesus on the altar,

we always find Him with Mary His Mother,

as the magi did at Bethlehem (Mt 2:11). 

And Jesus in the sacred Host,

from the altar of our hearts,

can repeat to each one of us what He said to

St John the Evangelist from the altar of Calvary,

Behold thy Mother (Jn 19:27).
