Mary, Mother of Sorrows

Mary, Mother of Sorrows—Meeting Jesus on the Road to Calvary.  Mary meeting of Jesus on His way to death is an encounter and a suffering with her Son. It is not a dropping-by-kind-of meeting.  It is the kind of encounter that a loved one endures every day when he/she sits at the death bed of another: a parent at the death bed of a child, a child at the death of a parent and/or sibling, a friend powerlessly gazing on a friend on his/her way to confront death with a heart full of faith, trust and love for the One who showed us the way to a new life.  O Mary, continue to be with us as you were with Jesus!
