Mother of Sorrows: Life of our Souls

The Blessed Virgin Mary bravely ,sorrowfully but lovingly stood by her Son Jesus Christ as she fulfilled her role as the Mother of God and Mediatrix of all Graces of the world.

The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows will be celebrated this September 15. This would remind us on the seven sorrows that pierced the heart of Mary. She suffered as no mother has ever suffered in this world. Even if we are going to join together all the sorrows of every mother that has experienced or still to experience difficulties, they could not surpass the sorrow that the Blessed Mother suffered on our behalf.

Mary showed to us the persevering true faith. She demonstrated to us how deep the love that we should give to her Son. A love that transcends boundaries of joy and sorrows. Her seven sorrows are worth reflecting for because we too have our own sorrows in life.

In this time of secularism and commercialism where we can be persecuted and ridiculed if we talked and loved Jesus, our devotion to the Sorrows of Mary is essential, for it will bring us deeper to the heart of Jesus. She showed to us the kind of trust that we should have. She was able to overcome the assault of evil and rose above them. The Mother of Sorrows will be there to take us by the hand, and to comfort and console us as our loving Mother.

Whatever will be the stumbling blocks in our lives, no matter how many challenges and trials that will impede the Will of God, we have to give our total trust that everything will be achieved through His Will by the outpouring of His grace in His infinite time with the intercession of the Blessed Mother, the Mother of Sorrows who is gentle, passionate, loving and life of our souls.
