Sorrowful Mother, Pray For Us!

Have you ever seen the artisic rendition of Jesus, head back, laughing uproariously? That image disturbs many who see this interpretation because Our Lord looks like he is without a care. Somehow this does not register with the Son of Man who knew his mission was to die for a sinful creation.

When one of your kids is troubled, can you have this kind of good time? The Sorrowful Mother seems to be a much more realistic picture of the grief we give to her and her Son.

Mary was at the foot of the Cross as Jesus suffered. She knows suffering, especially ours. Go to her for comfort and intercession. She waits for us. Please, don't keep her waiting.
