Our Lady of Sorrows

Hebrews 5:7-9, Ps31, John 19:25-27

A Mother’s Love

Surely there is no greater human love than the love of a mother for her child? Of course, the greater the love the greater the potential for suffering too. Children can cause their mother’s pain by their actions or omissions. How Jesus, who loved even the greatest sinners, must have loved his own mother! Even as he hung dying on the cross he sought to ensure her future welfare. Love your mother. Fathers, remind your children to love their mothers. Apart from God, there is no one who loves them more.
