Mary, Mother of the Church, Monday of week 10 in Ordinary Time

June 9, 2025
in Readings

First reading Genesis 3:9-15,20

The mother of all those who live
After Adam had eaten of the tree the Lord God called to him. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden;’ he replied ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked ‘Have you been eating of the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me the fruit, and I ate it.’ Then the Lord God asked the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman replied, ‘The serpent tempted me and I ate.’
  Then the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this,
‘Be accursed beyond all cattle,
all wild beasts.
You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust
every day of your life.
I will make you enemies of each other:
you and the woman,
your offspring and her offspring.
It will crush your head
and you will strike its heel.’
The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live.

Responsorial Psalm 86(87)

Of you are told glorious things, O city of God!

On the holy mountain is his city
cherished by the Lord.
The Lord prefers the gates of Zion
to all Jacob’s dwellings.

Of you are told glorious things,
O city of God!
‘Zion shall be called “Mother”
for all shall be her children.’

It is he, the Lord Most High,
who gives each his place.
In his register of peoples he writes:
‘These are her children,’
and while they dance they will sing:
‘In you all find their home.’

Gospel John 19:25-34

‘Behold your son. Behold your mother.’
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that moment the disciple made a place for her in his home.
  After this, Jesus knew that everything had now been completed, and to fulfil the scripture perfectly he said, ‘I am thirsty.’
  A jar full of vinegar stood there, so putting a sponge soaked in the vinegar on a hyssop stick they held it up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the vinegar he said, ‘It is accomplished’; and bowing his head he gave up his spirit.
  It was Preparation Day, and to prevent the bodies remaining on the cross during the sabbath – since that sabbath was a day of special solemnity – the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they found he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water.
___________________________________________

Mary, our Mother

In today’s Gospel, Mary stood by Jesus’ cross, with unwavering love and faith. In the first reading, Mary remained with the disciples, praying and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:12-14). As we celebrate today’s Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church, we are reminded that she continues to be our Mother. She stands by us in the challenges of our daily lives and never leaves us alone, praying for us and guiding us as we follow Jesus.

“’ Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour, the disciple took her into his home.” (The Gospel). Today, let us listen to Jesus as He speaks these words to us, “This is your mother. Take her into your home, into your life. You need a spiritual mother to care for you”. Mother Mary is a precious gift from Jesus to us. May we welcome her into our homes and our lives, allowing her to be a mother to us today and throughout our lives.

Reflective question:
How important is Mother Mary in my life?
