MARY - CO-REDEMPTRIX

"A Crown of Boundless Pain"

(Jesus says:)

"...Did I perhaps offend charity towards my Mother... by doing the whole Will of my Father? No, in all truth... I made Her, the Immaculate One, the Co-Redemptrix. I place this second glorious crown on her head which She would otherwise not have had.

"Nor did She refuse to wear it, though it was a crown of boundless pain. Look at Us. I was the Son who did not deny his most beloved Mother but set the Will of God before Her, because that Will must hold precedence over other loves, wills, and human rights, even the holiest ones. And look at Her: the Mother who did not keep her Son from doing the Will for which He had taken on flesh. Robe your heart in our heroism, and act with true charity..."(Notebooks 1945-50, p. 503)
