The Mother of Sorrows remained standing on Calvary, leaning against the holy Cross and adoring the sacred body of her Son and His divine Person, to which this most holy body always remained united. This great Queen continued ever constant in the interior practice of the most heroic virtues, ever firm and immovable amidst the impetuous movements of her bitter sorrows. The greatest affliction of this merciful and divine Mother was the culpable ingratitude which men, to their own great detriment and loss, would return for this incomprehensible benefit. She also felt great anxiety about the burial of the divine body of her Son, and how it was to be taken down from the Cross. Suddenly she beheld a crowd of armed men approaching Calvary. Her fears were redoubled, for she dreaded some outrage to the sacred body of the Redeemer.
"The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin (Chapter 27)
Ven. Mary of Agreda
