"The women followed behind, and when they had seen the tomb... they returned and prepared spices." —Luke 23:55-56
After witnessing Jesus's scourges, wounds, and crucifixion, Mary must witness His burial. She ponders the prophets' words and knows that her Son is the Messiah, that He will triumph over death. Mary is now mourning all of mankind. She mourns each sinner who will reject Christ's Precious Blood spilled for him or her.
† Most faithful Mary, help me adore Christ's Body and Blood and receive this saving gift worthily. When God calls me home, pray that I am in a state of grace and that I will have the humility to embrace the Lord's Divine Mercy. Amen. †
