MAY DEVOTION - SEVENTEENTH DAY

MARY, THE SORROWING MOTHER

"Our Lady is there listening to the words of her Son, stuck to him in His suffering, when he cried out ‘Eloi,  Eloi, lama sabachthani?' What would she had done? She united herself fully with the redemptive love of her Son and offered to the Father her immense sorrow, which pierced her pure heart like a sharp-edged sword."

Let us offer to our Mother today - 

The mortification of keeping quiet about any pain or discomfort, any inconvenience or disappointment, uniting it with her pain as she stood by her crucified Son.
