15 September 2018 - Saturday, 23rd Week in Ordinary Time | Lady of Sorrows

Reflection:
1 Corinthians 10:14-22, John 19:25-27 or Luke 2:33-35
“Standing by the Cross”

At the foot of Jesus’ cross, Mary stood with steadfast love and trust. She held onto her trust in God as she watched the tragedy of love unfolding on the Cross.

Mary, the Mother of Sorrows, continues to stand firmly by our sides as we face our own personal crosses. She stays close to us and lends us her strength and trust in God. As our Mother, she encourages us to carry on and not give up because God’s faithful love will overcome all suffering, sickness and even death. Mary gently leads us to trust more in God whose love will never fail us. In this journey of life, let us count on the help of our Mother. She is here with us to guide us to walk the path of the cross with unwavering trust and hope in God.


Questions for reflection:
1) In our spiritual life, who is Mother Mary for us?
2) What can we learn from Mother Mary in her life with God?
