In this video from an online retreat by the Monte Christo organization and facilitated by Mr. Kyle Clement, he discussed the 3 figures at the foot of the Cross on Good Friday. As you are likely familiar, the figures were Mary Magdalen, St. John (the only apostle to not flee), and the Blessed Virgin Mary. All 3 were at the same Cross but each of them was processing the moment in 3 different ways.
Question: Why is this important to learn about and meditate on?
Answer: We are all at the foot of a cross and how we respond matters.
Reflection Questions:
- Do you usually respond like Mary Magdalen, St John, or Our Blessed Mother?
- How do you start inching towards responding like Our Blessed Mother?
These are worthy questions that deserve our deep contemplation. What a wonderful thing to ask Our Lord in Adoration.
