[1]“Madonna and Child” (detail) by Sassoferrato
“For her part, Mary did not fail to live up to her station as the Mother of Christ. When the apostles fled, she stood before the Cross and gazed tenderly on the wounds of her Son, because she was waiting, not for her Son’s death, but for the salvation of the world.” (St. Ambrose of Milan, Bishop and Doctor of the Church)
December 7 is the Memorial of St. Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor of the Church (337/340 – 397).
