Lent Talks - Mary's Pain
Written and presented by Dr Selina Stone, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theological Education , Durham University and author 鈥楾arry Awhile鈥� 鈥� the Archbishop of Canterbury鈥檚 lent book.

The story of Jesus' suffering and death is also the story of the pain experienced by those who loved him, particularly his mother Mary. We think of her often as a privileged woman, "blessed among women" and the mother of God in flesh. And yet this calling also involved great suffering and pain as she watches her son suffer and then be murdered. What do we learn about our human experience and the Christian life when we pay attention to Mary in this way? In a world in which so many experience the pain of seeing their loved ones suffer, how might we reflect and respond?
