If you stay close to my Sorrowful Heart, I will defend you in your spiritual battles with the devil and I will protect you in every instant of your life. I will console you in your pains and I will accompany you in your work. At the moment of death, my Son and I will be your eternal consolation and joy.

Today’s Reflection:

These words of the Blessed Mother, given to St. Bridget, beckon us to Our Lady’s Sorrowful Heart. There we find her Seven Dolors – the swords of suffering that pierced her. They are: The Prophesy of Simeon, The Flight into Egypt, The Loss of Jesus for Three Days, Mary Meets Jesus Carrying the Cross, Jesus Dies on the Cross, Mary Receives the Dead Body of Jesus in Her Arms, Jesus is Placed in the Tomb. Of these swords which do I know and how can it draw me nearer to Our Lady?
