Paragraph 6. MARY – MOTHER OF CHRIST, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Thus the Blessed Virgin
advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully persevered in her union
with her Son unto the cross. There she stood, in keeping with the divine plan,
enduring with her only begotten Son the intensity of his suffering, joining
herself with his sacrifice in her mother’s heart, and lovingly consenting to
the immolation of this victim, born of her: to be given, by the same Christ
Jesus dying on the cross, as a mother to his disciple, with these words:
“Woman, behold your son.”⁵⁰³
