Bishop Sheen interprets the relationship between the seven recorded words that Mary spoke in the Gospels and the seven last words of Jesus as he hung on the cross.
A meditation on the seven words of Mary's life as recorded in the Scriptures and Our Lord's seven words on the cross. It is interesting and instructive that Our Lord spoke only seven times on Calvary and that his mother is recorded as speaking only seven times, the last of which is at the Marriage Feast of Cana, the beginning of Christ's ministry.
