Let us ask God in prayer to give us the ability to minister and treat in the best way the people he has placed at our side.
His mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing next to the cross of Jesus. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing present, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. 27 Then he said to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple received her into her house. 28 After this, Jesus knowing that everything was now finished, she said, that the Scripture might be fulfilled: I thirst. 29 And there was a vessel full of vinegar; Then they soaked a sponge in vinegar, and putting it on a hyssop, they put it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And bowing his head, he gave up the spirit.
John 19:25-30
Continuing with the genealogy of Jesus and the mothers mentioned in it we see the last one, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary was very attentive to the ministry of her son and appreciated everything he said and did and understood who he was.
51 And she went down with them, and returned to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And her mother kept all these things in her heart.
Luke 2:51
Surely Mary has experienced all the emotions just like any mother, she would be proud as the mother of Jesus, she would also be afraid and worried since she well understood that Jesus was busy with her father's business.
49 Then he said to them: Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be involved in my Father's business?
Luke 2:49
We also remember Jesus being already on the cross and Mary, upon seeing him, surely felt a lot of anguish when she saw her son in that situation. She also heard from John the confidence of his mother's love and care: When she saw Jesus to his mother, and to the disciple whom he loved, who was present, he said to his mother: Woman, behold your son.
Mary accompanied Jesus throughout his life and from the beginning she knew what would happen at this moment even though this would break her heart with pain, the fact of knowing what would happen to her son would not lessen the pain, but Still I endure everything alone. Mary was also accompanied, as we see in that painting, by many other believers and after the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ she continued waiting surrounded by other believers.
14 All these persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and with her brothers.
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all unanimous together.
Acts 1.14, 2.1
Just as we see in this painting, Mary and many others surely lived surrounded by family and friends just like John, being part of an entire community that worshiped the Lord Jesus Christ, understanding that he was the savior, this is a great example so that we can adopt ourselves today as members of a community, of a church, accompanying other believers by providing care. Surely we have friends or acquaintances who are going through some type of problem and this is also the opportunity to present Jesus Christ as savior and who can fill us with hope for a full life here on earth and for eternity.

Pidamos a Dios en oración que nos de la capacidad de ministrar y tratar de la mejor forma a las personas que ha puesto a nuestro lado.
Estaban junto a la cruz de Jesús su madre, y la hermana de su madre, María mujer de Cleofas, y María Magdalena. 26 Cuando vio Jesús a su madre, y al discípulo a quien él amaba, que estaba presente, dijo a su madre: Mujer, he ahí tu hijo. 27 Después dijo al discípulo: He ahí tu madre. Y desde aquella hora el discípulo la recibió en su casa.28 Después de esto, sabiendo Jesús que ya todo estaba consumado, dijo, para que la Escritura se cumpliese: Tengo sed. 29 Y estaba allí una vasija llena de vinagre; entonces ellos empaparon en vinagre una esponja, y poniéndola en un hisopo, se la acercaron a la boca. 30 Cuando Jesús hubo tomado el vinagre, dijo: Consumado es. Y habiendo inclinado la cabeza, entregó el espíritu.
Juan 19:25-30
Continuando con la genealogía de Jesús y las madres mencionadas en ella vemos a la última, María, la madre de Jesús, María estaba muy atenta al ministerio de su hijo y apreciaba todo lo que decía y hacía entendía quién era.
51 Y descendió con ellos, y volvió a Nazaret, y estaba sujeto a ellos. Y su madre guardaba todas estas cosas en su corazón.
Lucas 2:51
Seguramente María ha experimentado todas las emociones al igual que cualquier madre, estaría orgullosa como madre de Jesús, tendría también miedo y preocupación ya que bien entendía que Jesús estaba ocupado en los negocios de su padre.
49 Entonces él les dijo: ¿Por qué me buscabais? ¿No sabíais que en los negocios de mi Padre me es necesario estar?
Lucas 2:49
También recordamos a Jesús estando ya en la cruz y María al verlo seguramente ha sentido mucha angustia al ver a su hijo en esa situación, también ha escuchado de Juan la confianza del amor y cuidado de su madre: Cuando vio Jesús a su madre, y al discípulo a quien él amaba, que estaba presente, dijo a su madre: Mujer, he ahí tu hijo.
maría acompañó a Jesús durante toda su vida y desde el principio sabía lo que acontecería en este momento aún cuando esto le partiría el corazón de dolor, el hecho de saber lo que sucedería con su hijo no disminuiría el dolor, pero aún así soporto todo sola. María también estuvo acompañada como vemos en ese cuadro por muchos otros creyentes y después de la muerte y resurrección del señor Jesucristo siguió esperando rodeado de otros creyentes.
14 Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oración y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesús, y con sus hermanos.
2 Cuando llegó el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos unánimes juntos.
Hechos 1.14, 2.1
