One Minute Meditation
On Calvary Mary’s role as the Coredemptrix reaches it’s fulfillment. Our Lady participates uniquely and actively in the work of Redemption like no one else because she offered and consented to the very immolation of her own Son. She united her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to the wounded Sacred Heart of her Son, the Redeemer of the world. There on Calvary she united her sufferings to the sufferings of her son Jesus “by whose stripes you were healed” (1Pet 1:24)
At the foot of the cross, Our Lady of Sorrows shared in the sufferings of her Son and united her sufferings with and under Christ for the Salvation of the world. Mary did not bring about Redemption, but she did participate in the work of her Son acquiring the graces of Redemption by uniting the sufferings of her maternal heart with that of her Son.
