Daily Mass: Our Lady of Sorrows. Catholic Inspiration

By Fr. Andrew Ricci

Mass Readings – Our Lady of Sorrows

Following immediately after yesterday’s Feast of the Holy Cross, the readings today focus on Mary as she endured the “sword of sorrow” as she stood at the Cross of her son.  Her sorrow reaches out through time and space to all people who have been overwhelmed by grief.  May her example help us to face our moments of pain with a sure and steadfast faith in Jesus Christ.

Note: This is one of the most moving paintings I have ever stood before.
