At the foot of the Cross, Mary, together 
with John, the disciple of love, witnessed the words of forgiveness 
spoken by Jesus. This supreme expression of mercy towards those who 
crucified him show us the point to which the mercy of God can reach. 
Mary attests that the mercy of the Son of God knows no bounds and 
extends to everyone, without exception. Let us address her in the words 
of the Salve Regina, a prayer ever ancient and ever new, so that 
she may never tire of turning her merciful eyes upon us, and make us 
worthy to contemplate the face of mercy, her Son Jesus.
