Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows

(Luke 2:34-35) “Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted, and you yourself a sword will pierce, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.’”

May the love in our hearts be revealed by the loving way we respond to those who have been pierced through the suffering and death of one that they love.
