Jesus with the Mother before the Last Supper

In Volume 5, Chapter 597, Jesus' farewell to the mother is narrated. Jesus embraces his mother and kisses her forehead. Mary first kisses the hand of her son and then his right cheek. Jesus makes Mary sit down and sits beside her. They sit on two stools close to each other. He makes her sit down, taking her to the stools, holding her by the hand, and he continues to hold her hand also when she has sat down. Jesus is engrossed in thought and sad, notwithstanding that he strives to smile. Painful spasms appear across Mary's face and her eyes dilate at an interior vision of deep grief, but she does not make a scene. She is as solemn as her son.

He says to her, "Mother, I have come to get strength and comfort from you. I am like a little baby, mother, who needs the heart of his mother for his grief, and his mother's breast for his strength. In this hour I have become your little Jesus of a long time ago. I am not the Master, mother. I am only your son, as in Nazareth when I was a little boy, as in Nazareth before departing from my private life….Support me with your love and prayers….Among those who more or less love me, you are the only one who knows how to pray in this hour….Mother, goodbye. Bless me mother, also on behalf of the Father. And forgive everybody. Let us forgive together, as from this moment, let us forgive those who torture us." 

While speaking, Jesus slides down on his knees at the feet of his mother and looks at her embracing her by the waist. Mary weeps silently, her face slightly raised for an internal prayer to God. Tears stream down her pale cheeks and fall on her lap and on the head of Jesus. Then Mary lays her hand on Jesus' head as if she wished to bless him. She then bends and kisses and caresses his hair, shoulders and arms. She cuddles that poor tired head as if he were a baby. She only says, "Son! Jesus! My Jesus!" Then Jesus stands up and takes his turn to bless her.
