Our
Lady of Sorrows
Hebrews 5:7-9. John 19:25-27.
Luke 2:33-35
I draw to My Saving Presence
every child of man who seeks
to know and do the Father's
will in love and self-giving.
Many strive uncertainly
to find the way and I am
with each one in all his
striving - in failure as
in progress. My suffering
and My death were the consequence
of man's failure to identify
the Father's will and loving
purpose for themselves and
for their fellowmen, and
of the sin and wickedness
which inevitably issues
from it .
My beloved and loving Mother
who was with Me through
My hours of human anguish
and at My death gave all
she had and was in sharing
My great suffering and anguish.
And through the fullness
of that offering she shares
above all others in the
world the power of My redemption.
But all the Father's beloved
and loving children are
called to enter in the mystery
of redemption and take it
into heart and mind not
only for themselves but
for all for whom I died.
