Today is one of my favorite feast days of Our Lady. Our Lady of Sorrows.
Obviously this has to do with the interior presence I have always felt with this devotion because of loosing my son to abortion. I know she knows what it is like to suffer, even more than I do because she had nothing to do with the death of her Son. I know she knows the pain, the grief, the agony of suffering, but mostly, I know she is there teaching me, protecting me and guiding me to her Son.
Our LAdy of Sorrows, the mom who stayed by her child's side through it all. He shared in His suffering to the end. who willingly took up the cross given her and carried it to eternity. She does the same for us that she did for Him.
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us!
MOST HOLY and afflicted Virgin,
Queen of Martyrs,
You stood beneath the Cross,
Witnessing the agony of your dying Son.
Look down with a mother’s tenderness
And have pity on me,
Who kneels before you to venerate your
Sufferings
and to place my request
With filial confidence in the sanctuary
Of your wounded heart.
Present them,
I beseech you,
On my behalf, to Jesus Christ,
Through the merits of his own
Most sacred Passion and Death,
Together with your sufferings
At the foot of the Cross;
And through the united efficacy of both,
Obtain the grant of my present petition.
To whom shall I have recourse
In my wants and miseries
If not to you, O Mother of Mercy,
Who, having so deeply drunk
Of the chalice of your Son,
An
console with the sorrows
Of those who still sigh in the land of exile?
O Holy Mary,
Whose soul was pierced by a sword of sorrow
At the sight of the Passion
Of your Divine Son,
Intercede for me and obtain for me from Jesus
(mention the request)
If it be for His Honor and Glory
And the good of my soul.
Amen.
