Is Mary Coredemptrix?

by Arthur Policarpio

It was, for many, the most powerful scene, the most touching moment in Mel Gibson's blockbuster hit "The Passion of the Christ"...The brutalized Jesus was falling again under the weight of the cross. His mother runs towards Him, and as she approaches the fallen Jesus, she recalls Jesus as a child, falling in the dirt road outside their home. She runs to the falling child frantically, reaching out to protect Him from the fall. And in that moment, she says to the child Jesus, "I AM HERE."
