There is a correlation between forgiveness of sin and loving Jesus. Maybe this narrative is an invitation for us to ask ourselves how we respond to Jesus’ forgiveness of our sins.

The sorrows of Mary find their significance in the faithfulness that they expressed. Jesus calls us to faithfulness as well.
