NOVENA PRAYER DAY7
Holy Mother of God,
hear the prayers of the Church for all mothers,
especially those wearied by life
and overcome by the suffering they bear for their children.
Recite the following prayer... Hail Mary...
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
intercede for them from your place in heaven,
that the mercy of your divine Son
might lighten their burden and give them strength.
Recite the following prayers...
Hail Mary...
Glory to the Father...
(day.7.)
Our Lady of Sorrows,
Sunday is a time to take stock.
We look all around us at Church and see them:
all the people whose kids never seem to scream
and who look like they haven't a problem in the world!
But what if we really knew them?
We would see the 'secret sufferings' that mirror our own.
That's the meaning of Sunday, after all.
It is the gathering of those who have looked
at the their own brokenness through the lens of the cross, and live!
Sunday is the perfect day to pray
for all God's broken children
and especially those who are tempted to break the lives of others.
Amen
