“In the spiritual life the fruit of sorrow is joy. When sorrow falls on the heart that loves God, it is sure to expand in that heart under the sunshine of faith and love, till it finally ripens into joy, whose fruit in turn becomes a seed for eternity.”
^{(Janet Stuart)}

September 15 is the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Saint Madeleine Sophie prayed specially to Our Lady of Sorrows during the critical moments of the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1839.

Let us ask for the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows as we remember and pray for an end to the sorrows we are facing in the world today.
