Brave women

Jesus' mother, Mary, Mary the wife of Clopas, Mary of Magdala, Veronica, the unnamed women of Jerusalem... Yes, these women will forever be honored whenever we commemorate the passion and death of Jesus.
In the midst of chaos, of the unthinking mob, of cowardice, of the perversion of truth, these women walked with Jesus and stayed with Him at the foot of the cross.
These brave women show that there is a spark of courage in the human spirit.
Even in the darkest moments of passion-gone-berserk, there is in each one of us the capacity to be compassionate in a suffering fellow human being.
It is the truest truth of who we are.
