Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem (19,25-27)
Stabant iúxta crucem Iésu mater eíus et soror matris eíus, María Cléopæ, et María Magdaléne. Cum vidísset ergo Iésus matrem et discípulum stantem, quem diligébat, dicit matri: “Múlier, ecce fílius tuus.” Deínde dicit discípulo: “Ecce mater tua.” Et ex illa hora accépit eam discípulus in sua.
There stood beside the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the Disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the Disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour the Disciple took her to his own.
