BLE & BAE Discussion Tuesday -Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows

A

mazing possibilities await us when we make ourselves available for God. First we must empty ourselves of self. We can’t do this we need the Holy Spirit to help us. When we open to the Holy Spirit and let self be drained out then we can let God the Father fill us up.

Blessed are you, O Virgin Mary;
without dying you won the Martyr’s crown
beneath the Cross of the Lord.

Gospel 

JN 19:25-27 

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother
and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved
he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”
Then he said to the disciple,
“Behold, your mother.”
And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

or

Lk 2:33-35 

Jesus’ father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;
and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,
“Behold, this child is destined
for the fall and rise of many in Israel,
and to be a sign that will be contradicted
and you yourself a sword will pierce
so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
