When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
On this day when most of the world are celebrating mothers, we see the example that Jesus set when he was dying on the cross. As he saw his mother sorrowful and crying with a broken heart, with his painful, dying breath he made arrangement for John to take care of Mary. To the very end Jesus was still thinking of others, especially his mother.
May we follow Jesus' example today and remember to love, cherish, respect and appreciate our mothers not just because the world declares that it is 'Mother's Day' but because we truly and sincerely love our mothers every day.
