Feast of the Seven Sorrows 2015
The Epistle for this Mass makes reference to Judith of the Old Testament who was a type of the Blessed Virgin. The seven swords depicted in the Immaculate Heart represent seven key moments of suffering in the life of our Holy Mother, however, her life was filled with many sorrows. We have been given a privilege to live in times of great trials in the Church in which we may suffer for Our Lord. Everything that Christ merited on the Cross He willed to share with His associate, His Virgin Mother. Few remember that the basis of this feast is found in the Immaculate Conception, which prepared the Blessed Mother to be a pure victim. Her suffering was made far greater because of her sensitivity of soul and her deep hatred of sin. She has her Immaculate Heart in Heaven to this day so she might compassionate us in the sorrows of our life.
