Whoever you may be...

Oh Panno, remember that your Son on the cross said, thinking of me, who would never dare to cast my gaze upon Yours in this world: This is your son.

Oh my brother, whoever you may be, no matter what impurity you hide in your heart, never forget the last word that the Savior dedicated to you. When He looked at you from the cross, He said to you: This is your mother.

(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, The Seven Words of Christ on the Cross)
