All the earth was wrapped in gloom beneath that blood-stained Cross; Memories thronged about her, memories of His Childhood, Adding to her loneliness, her pain, her sense of loss. Mary opened wide her arms but His were nailed securely "Mother!" breathed her dying Son, and never had she heard In her sword-pierced heart that knew the very depths of sorrow Anything approaching the pathos of that word."Mother! Mother Mary!" a million hearts are calling, "Open wide again those arms, and in their warm embrace, Take the children Jesus gave you on that darkened hill-top When He named you Mother of the sin-stained human race." - Cyril Robert
