Mother of Sorrows

9/15/2024

Mater Dolorosa by Anonieme Meester

September 15th is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. This title of Our Lady highlights the presence suffering and sorrow had in her life. She who never committed a sin and upon whom God bestowed the ultimate privilege of being His Mother still shared our common human experience of pain. She is not an icy and untouchable queen, distant and unreachable, but a warm and tender mother, one whose love for each of us individually has been tried and proven.

St. Mary Magdalene by Carlo Dolci

“Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out” (Lk 8:1-2).

St. Joseph, the Worker

Church of St. Joseph in Nazareth

O my beloved St. Joseph,
adopt me as thy child.
Take charge of my salvation;
watch over me day and night;
preserve me from occasions of sin;
obtain for me purity of body.
Through thy intercession with Jesus,
grant me a spirit of sacrifice, humility, self-denial,
a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
and a sweet and tender love for Mary, my Mother.
St. Joseph, be with me living, be with me dying,
and obtain for me a favorable judgment. Amen.
