"Mary had stood through at the foot of the Cross, the entire Three Hours, though She had had a sleepless night, and the morning had been crowded full with terrible happenings.

Almost as a reward for Her Dolor, it is now an impossible thing to preach Christ Crucified unless Mary is in sight. It is something else we preach, not that — unless She is standing there."
