Mary bore her cross as the chosen woman to be the mother of Jesus Christ. Her heart was pierced as she witnessed her Son hanging on the cross. Then Jesus requested: 'Woman, behold your son or daughter.' This signifies that Mary holds a special place for you in her heart. She is the mother to all and cherishes you with a mother's unparalleled love.
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John 19:26-27
