A Mother's Sorrow: GOOD FRIDAY

                  (Photos in this post were taken inside St. Charles Church in western Massachusetts.)


There can be no greater pain in a mother's heart than to see her child suffer and die.

Imagine, just imagine, the agony of the Blessed Mother when she saw her son crucified and die upon a cross.

A mother's love is forever.

When she is gone, no one will ever take her place.

If your own mother is still alive, cherish her.

She is your greatest ally and staunchest advocate and friend.

She is perhaps the greatest gift God has ever given to you and to your children.

Treat her with the most tender love you can muster and hold her close to you.

She is more precious than all the gold in the world.

And when your mother is no longer on earth, your heart, like Mary's, will break.

Today. Remember Him and remember His mother as well as your own.
