“Our Lady of Sorrows - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …

Biblical references that illuminate Mary's sorrows can be found in Luke 2:35 and John 19:26-27. In the Lucan passage, Simeon prophesies that a sword will pierce Mary's soul, while the Johannine passage records Jesus' words from the cross to Mary and the beloved disciple. These passages hold profound meaning when brought together, symbolizing prediction and fulfillment. Notably, Saint Ambrose recognized Mary as a sorrowful yet steadfast presence at the foot of the cross. While others fled in fear, Mary remained resolute. As she gazed upon her Son's wounds with compassion, she perceived in them the world's salvation. In the face of Jesus' crucifixion, Mary did not cower but willingly offered herself to her persecutors. The account of Jesus' death as depicted by John carries deep symbolism. When Jesus entrusts the beloved disciple to Mary, it invites us to contemplate Mary's role within the Church. She symbolizes the Church itself, and the beloved disciple represents all believers. Just as Mary mothered Jesus, she now assumes the role of mother to all his followers. Moreover, as Jesus yielded his Spirit upon his death, Mary and the Spirit collaborated in the birth of new children of God, echoing the narrative of Jesus' conception in Luke. Christians can take solace in the enduring presence of Mary and the Spirit throughout their lives and throughout history. This ethereal painting distinctively encapsulates the very essence of Mary's miraculous birth, where the presence of her future son, Jesus, is depicted alongside her, symbolizing the divine connection. It serves as a powerful symbol of the renewal of life, inviting viewers to delve into deep contemplation and reflection. Through this momentous artwork, we are reminded of the profound beauty and significance of this moment in religious history, offering boundless inspiration to those who gaze upon it.
