Fix this textOUR LADY OF SORROWS
Fix this text“WHAT THY BLISS, HOW DEEP THY SORROWS,
Fix this textMOTHER, THOU ALONE CANST KNOW.”
Fix this textTHE trials which Our Blessed
Fix this textLady had to undergo should
Fix this textconvince us of the necessity of
Fix this textsuffering in this life. It is easy
Fix this textto understand the sufferings of
Fix this textOur Blessed Lord, since He took
Fix this textupon Himself the sins of the
Fix this textworld, but why should His
Fix this textMother, who was never sullied
Fix this textby the least stain of sin, be called
Fix this textupon bear the cross? Because as
Fix this texta child of Adam she was subject
Fix this textto the ills of nature —it was by a
Fix this textspecial privilege of God’s grace
Fix this textthat she was conceived and born
Fix this textfree from the stain of Original
Fix this textSin —and God permitted her to
Fix this textsuffer in order that her trials
Fix this textmight be a lesson to us in the
Fix this textvalue of suffering and sacrifice,
Fix this textand her fortitude an example of
Fix this textChristian virtue.
Fix this textHer trials seem to have been mainly of the
Fix this textsoul, trials that were foretold to her by the
Fix this textprophet Simeon in the words: “And thy own soul
Fix this texta sword shall pierce, that the thoughts of many
Fix this texthearts may he revealed.” These words were
Fix this textborne out by subsequent events;
Fix this textSimeon’s prophecy was fulfilled
Fix this textto the letter, for a sword of sor-
Fix this textrow did indeed pierce the soul of
Fix this textOur Blessed Lady. And in com-
Fix this textparison with anguish of soul,
Fix this textphysical suffering is as nothing.
Fix this textAll that her Divine Son suffered
Fix this textin the members of His Body on
Fix this textCalvary, Mary suffered in her
Fix this textmind and heart, offering all with
Fix this textHim for the redemption of the
Fix this textworld.
Fix this textOUR LADY OF SORROWS.
Fix this textIn recognition of the reality
Fix this textof her spiritual martyrdom, the
Fix this textChurch salutes her by the title
Fix this textQueen of Martyrs, and pays her
Fix this textthe homage of commemorating
Fix this texther many trials in a special Feast.
Fix this textPRAYER.
Fix this textO God, at Whose passion, according to the prophecy of
Fix this textSimeon, a sword of sorrow did pierce through the most
Fix this textsweet soul of the glorious Virgin and Mother Mary;
Fix this textmercifully grant that we who devoutly celebrate her
Fix this texttransfixion and suffering, may, through the intercession
Fix this textof the glorious merits and prayers of all the saints who
Fix this textfaithfully stand beneath Thy cross, obtain the blessed
Fix this textfruit of Thy passion. Amen.
Fix this textOUR LADY OF SORROWS.
Fix this textFeast September 15th.
