Tuesday September 15th: Mother Mary’s Heart

Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows

“Woman, here is your son…Son, here is your Mother.”

John 19: 25-27

Dear Mary, Mother of Jesus, you truly understood
Standing near the cross of Jesus, as a devoted mother would
You never flinched or fainted, as your loving Son bled
But you stood strong in love, as His blood was shed
How were you so strong when everything seemed so wrong?

My dear, dear child,
I remembered the words of the angels –
The words spoken at His birth
I treasured them in my heart – He was sent to do His part

I was the special instrument
God used to give His Son
So, with faith, I prayed AMEN
To all that was said and done.

So, know this for sure, my child
In my heart I cried tears of blood
But because of the depth of my unfathomable love
All evil was conquered by good

He gave John to me, He gave me to John
And from that precious moment
The battle for the world was won.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us. Amen.
