Strength from Our Lady of Sorrows
During Lent, we ask Our Lady of Sorrows to bring us into an ever deeper sense of peace, faith, hope and love for her son, Jesus.
Let us pray: Father, as your Son was raised on the cross, His Mother Mary stood by Him, sharing His sufferings. May we, your
Church, be united with Christ in His suffering and death so come to share in His rising to New life. Looking to the example of
Mary, may we too unite our sufferings to our Lord, facing them with courage, love and trust.
Mary fearlessly stood at the foot of the cross, even though the disciples had all fled. Mary remained through Jesus' suffering. Even in His pain, Jesus responded to the tragic sight of His mother as she watched. He purposefully entrusted her to John's care. At this moment, Jesus symbolically gave His mother to all of us. She is our loving mother, who intercedes on our behalf and leads us to Jesus.
With love for us, God sent His only Son to save us, not to condemn us. The season of Lent offers us an opportunity to search for Him, to personally encounter Him in our hearts. We journey with the Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Sorrows, who stands with us as a pillar of faith.
REFLECT . . .
The Carrying of the Cross - Imagine the pain and anguish when Mother and her Son Jesus met on the way to Calvary. Mary's courage brought her there, and courage carried her through it.
My prayer: Mary, I often run from difficult situations. When the only way out is through, help me to be faithful. Help me to be more like you.
The Crucifixion - If there was any faith in a human heart at that terrible moment of Our Lord's death, it was in the heart of Mary, standing strong at the foot of the Cross.
My prayer: Mary, Woman of courageous faith, I want to rise above the fear that paralyzes me. Fill me with your spirit.
The Taking Down from the Cross - As the body of Jesus was taken down from the Cross. Mary did not collapse in tears or run from the scene. She stayed with her Son because that is where she belonged.
My prayer: Mary, in all those situations where I'd rather run than stay, help me that I may stand firm as you did.

The month of April is traditionally dedicated to devotion to Jesus in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. The Catholic Church teaches that the Blessed Sacrament is the real and living presence of Christ—His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—received into our souls with every reception of Holy Communion. Our Eucharistic Lord is the source and summit of our Christian life, the ultimate proof of His infinite love for us. |
