A key to all four gospel accounts of the crucifixion is the position of Mary Magdalene. In Mark and Matthew, Mary Magdalene stands watching a long way off. She is not mentioned by name in Luke, with this account ambiguously saying that the women from Galilee and all his acquaintances stood afar off. Unaware of the original, the author of John's Gospel has
Mary Magdalene standing at the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', Mary his mother, her sister and another Mary. John's account directly and irreconcilably contradicts the other gospels and is unlikely to have any historical basis. Jesus did not really ask any disciple to care for his aged mother.

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.

It is believed that Mary's prayers have a particularly strong connection with Jesus.

What happen to Joseph why did Jesus ask John to watch over virgin Mary?
The last time Joseph is mentioned in the gospels is the account of Jesus in the temple at the age of twelve (Luke chapter 2).Though not recorded, it seems evident that Joseph had died by the time of the crucifixion.It's interesting to note that Mary (no longer a virgin, by the way) had other sons who could have - and should have, according to Jewish custom - taken care of her, but they didn't believe in Jesus at the time, so Jesus charged John with her care (John 19:26, 27).
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.
