In the Old Testament the perfect sacrifice which was most pleasing to God was the unblemished lamb. In the New Testament Jesus is referred to by St. John as the "Lamb of God", Agnus Dei in Latin. The Lamb of God sacrificed to take away the sins of the World.

Mary is the Mediatrix of salvation between Jesus and Mankind. Through Mary's "YES" to bringing the Savior of the world, she receives a place of spiritual royalty as the Mother of the King.
As an expectant mother draws the community around her to the coming of her child, Our Blessed Mother draws us to her as we wait in joyful hope for the second coming of the Savior of the world.

Third Window (Mary's Side)

The cloth with which the holy woman in the crowd wiped the face of Jesus as He was carrying the cross on His way to Calvary. Miraculously, His sacred teatures were imprinted on the veil, which now is preserved in St. Peter's in Rome.

Jesus entrusted a specific authority to Peter: "And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19. The 'power of the keys' designates authority to govern the house of God, which is the church.  Jesus, the Good Shepherd, confirmed this mandate after his Resurrection: "Feed my sheep."  The power to "bind and loose" connotes the authority to absolve sins, to pronounce doctrinal judgments, and to make disciplinary decisions in the Church. Jesus entrusted this authority to the Church through the ministry of the apostles and in particular through the ministry of Peter, the only one to whom he specifically entrusted the keys of the kingdom.  - Catechism of the Catholic Church : Paragraph 553, Page 142
 

A solemn agreement between God and his greatest creation, Man.
