♥ Our Lady of Sorrows ♥
"Save me, O Lord, in your kindness"
Ps 31:2-6, 15-16, 20
Heb 5:7-9
Lk 2:33-35
Mary's first encounter with the Emmanuel during the Annunciation brought her confusion, not being able to understand the possibility of her bearing the Messiah. Yet Mary put her trust in God. Later Mary will find herself at the foot of the cross of Jesus! What great sorrow can we think of but a mother gazing at the dead body of her son? Sorrow does not have the final word, but joy has it! What a great joy indeed that the sorrowing mother will be greeted by the triumph of Jesus' Resurrection. The mother who journeyed with her Son in sorrow will later be assumed into heaven in God's glory. This is our hope, that our sorrows will turn into joy and gladness. ♥
