He Just Began

I went to the chapel today
And I thought of a mother's loss
When I saw a picture of Mary
Praying at the foot of the Holy Cross.

To see a child suffer
There can be no greater pain
Especially one of your own
The one you have blessed with name.

She was there for the Crucifixion
And after His persecutors had gone 
They had tried to end His Sacred Life
"But the Lord had just begun!"
