Our Lady of Sorrows

Today we remember the 7 Sorrows that Mother Mary suffered:
1. At the presentation of Baby Jesus at the temple when Simeon told Mary that a sword would pierce her heart.
2. When Joseph, Mary, and Jesus had to escape to Egypt so that Jesus would not be harmed by Herod’s soldiers.
3. After the Feast of Passover when Mary and Joseph could not find Jesus for 3 days.
4. When Jesus was scourged and crowned with thorns.
5. When Jesus was crucified.
6. When Jesus was taken down from the cross and laid in Mary’s arms.
7. When Jesus was laid in the tomb.
Mary’s pain was a spiritual pain. She suffered for all of us because we are her children and she longs for us to be in Heaven with Jesus.
