Being nailed down to the cross is really something. We know that Christ as God was not expecting any help from the people around Him. Of course, He knows that, for sure, Our Blessed Mother, if only she could run to Him and help Him out, would definitely go to Him, prevent the nails from piercing His human hands com feet, and lift Him up to Her arms. Yet, under such condition and then situation, plus the fact that Christ must fulfill His mission, she prayed with all her might, and mighty indeed as the Mother of God.
Do we do this even as a favor to others? Meaning, really and sincerely? Or do we just say it and do nothing at all? Thus, the question is - where were you when someone was is need?
