The apostle John. While on the cross, Jesus requested that John take over care of His mother. Scripture refers to John and the disciple Jesus loved. Not that He didn't love them all, but apparently He must have had a special relationship with John.

Did John fall with Mary to the right of the cross facing Jesus on Calvary?

There is nothing in scripture that says anything about this. The only reference to John with Mary the mother of Jesus at the cross was Jesus' plea to John. Jesus, dying on the cross, turned to John (the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' i.e. his best friend) to ask him to look after Mary as he would his own mother. It would have been the duty of Jesus, being the oldest son of Mary, to provide for her in this way in Jewish law. Similarly he asked Mary to accept John as her new 'son' who would look after her. We are told that from that moment John took Mary into his own home.

Why is the Hail Mary important to Roman Catholics?

Because Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is God. We don't worship her, we just talk to her and ask her to ask Jesus to help us.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Blessed Virgin Mary was given to each of us as our mother when Jesus, on the Cross, gave her to each of us in his disciple, John. She is the mediatrix of grace. Jesus is the Mediator of all grace, and only He is our savior. But God has decreed that each of us is to be a mediator in our own way, for instance when we pray for a family member in trouble. Mary is mother of Our Blessed Lord, and mother of the Church, so in a very real way, we turn to her and ask her intercession as she is the first intercessor after Jesus. This is most clearly prefigured in the Old Testament, in the Queen Mother, who was mother of the King and would intercede with the King. The Hail Mary is the primary prayer given to us to ask her intercession.

What does it mean when Catholics pray to Mary for her intercession on your behalf?

When Catholics pray to Mary for her intercession, it means they are asking her to pray for them and bring their intentions or requests before Jesus. Catholics believe that Mary, being the mother of Jesus, holds a special place of honor and influence in Heaven and can intercede for them in a powerful way. It is believed that Mary's prayers have a particularly strong connection with Jesus.
