"...The end result of this preparation was that she was ready for the most magnificent hour of her life. While all men deserted Our Crucified Lord, Our Lady stood at the foot of the Cross. In spite of the terrible suffering, at no moment was she disoriented. She did not lose her self- control or wish to flee. All these vile passions would be unbefitting for her, filled as she was with the most excellent virtues elevated to the highest degree. No one had ever suffered so much while maintaining such complete self-control and understanding of the logic of what was happening. Our Lady did this with so much strength and poise, and hatred of evil. We can even sense her hatred for evil in that she knew that evil would be entirely crushed at the moment that her Divine Son expired..."
Oh, yeah. Him. I almost forgot.
INDEED.

Are any of these words wrong? Did all men desert Jesus? Did she remain?
Your mockery would be most appropriate and barbed except for the fact that your words speak to what Mary went through at the foot of the Cross as Jesus suffered and died.
Harken back to the the Gospels. Harken back to the Passion of the Christ, if you saw it. Did Mary suffer and yet not back down? I have sympathy for your mockery; I pray for you. May God soften your heart so that you can finally understand the great price He paid. May He also soften your heart as to Mary’s sacrifice for you and for all as well.
You scorn, yet reap the benefit of His Passion and Death and Resurrection. If a sports article mentions the mother of a great player, do you huff and puff?
