Our Lady of Sorrows

Think of a mother's final kiss to her son before He is to be buried. Think of what this must have been like if that Mother's heart was without stain of original sin - what a fathomless ocean of sorrow. Let us strive today and all days to honor our Blessed Mother for her sacrifice made willingly in union with her Divine Son.

Mary Mother of Sorrows - Be my salvation! Amen+

Cleghornboy said...: Now imagine the ingratitude of men who do not appreciate Our Lord's Sacrifice on the Cross and who spurn His Love and how much more that makes Our Lady suffer. On this Feast of Our Lady of La Salette, let us endeavour to bring others to a closer relationship with the Lord Jesus by reminding them of the La Salette message: a message of reconciliation and hope, a message of peace for mankind. For without God, we can do nothing.; 9/19/2009 10:43:00 AM

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
