In this reflection on “The Pieta” we discover our identity as Mothers of the Cross to live the hidden martyrdom of the heart as Mary, our Mother of Sorrows.  Like Mary, we must sacrifice our maternal hearts and participate as ONE in the sufferings... the pains...the tears and sorrows of Our Beloved— Love Crucified.  We are called to enter and remain in the Mystery of the Cross, in the silence and hiddenness of our hearts.
