Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother

jax123 - I am so sorry that you are struggling right now. I am keeping you in my prayers!!! God bless you!!!

Marla Frances - Hi! How wonderful that your son contacted you! I will keep in my prayers the intention that he has come back because he loves and misses you both and has turned a corner in his life, and for his health! Thank you for sharing the wonderful news!!!

Today I prayed the Seven Sorrows Rosary for the deepest needs, intentions and blessings for our group, that many people will come to love Mary in her sufferings and join our group, that I become a true and good daughter to Mary, for our youths, elderly and unbelievers and for special intentions!

Am struggling at the moment so not posting as much. But still praying for all of you. God Bless.

FootStool I am wondering how you are and how your life is going? I miss seeing your posts. I will say a special prayer to Our Lady for you today.

Hello everyone in this wonderful group!! I have been so busy lately with 2 weddings to go to, a birthday party to go to and out of town guests. Time just slipped by. I also had an answer to a prayer. Our son called us after being estranged from us for many years. He admitted he was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder. Now he is trying to get his life on track. He is married and has 2 children that we have not seen in years. Pleas pray that he has turned the corner in his life and has come back to us because he loves and misses us. He has also other health issues that are serious. Please keep him in your prayers as I will continue to pray for all of you!!!!

Hello friends!!! i hope you all have a wonderful day!

DesertSister62 - Thank you for the continuation of "Led by Faith"!

Isbar - I am so glad to hear that your son is doing well! I think you are definitely on the right track in letting go and letting God!!! That's really nice that his family decided to stay for a few days in a nice hotel!

queenstarfish71 - I think it's wonderful that you are involved with our church's Charismatic movement! I can't even go to Holy Mass because of my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but I did go to a healing Mass once and it was wonderful! Thank you sooo much for offering our intentions up!!!

wheels10 - Thank you so much for sharing about Our Lady being brought to the temple! "The Glories of Mary" is a book, right? I will have to check it out!!

Today I prayed the Seven Sorrows Rosary for Mhee's daughter Clare, for Isbar's son and those in his recovery group, for the deepest needs, intentions and blessings for our group, that many people will come to compassionate Our Lady's sufferings and join our group, that I become a true and good daughter to Mary, for our youths, elderly and unbelievers and for a special intention!

Gods Holy Will and All!!
Thanks for the prayers!!

Isbar!!! so happy for you and your family! praise God!! ..you are so right "one day at a time".

I went to my praise and worship/healing mass and it was wonderful!! Yes I am involved in the Charismatic movement of our church and I love it!! I just get so much out of it! So much healing... anyway!! I offered all your intentions up!! Keep the faith!! God's time is not our time!! Know that he loves you all and that each one of us is very dear and near to his heart!! Nothing is impossible with him!! Peace be with you all!!

Hello, everyone!

God's Holy Will, thank you for asking about my son. He is doing well...I almost want to say so far so good, but he was only released on Friday and he and his little family stayed at a nice hotel for a few days just to get reacquainted...so to speak.

When I find myself becoming apprehensive about him being able to maintain his sobriety, I remember to *let go and let God*. Just saying that gives me such peace and joy. I know that because of all of your prayers and the prayers of this great family in this social / praying group, that God has wonderful things in mind for my son and his family. I just have to remember not to get in the way. (Actually, God has had the plans in place since the beginning of time as we know it...) I just have to do my part and pray for my son...lifting him up to God. I hope that you all know how grateful I am to all of you for praying with me.

I continue to pray for all of your and your deepest intentions.

It was edifying to read through the posts that I had missed while I was away....the way you each lift each other up is so wonderful.

Many blessings!

From the "The Glories of Mary"

""In her third year she was brought to the temple" -- an age at which children are the most desirous and stand in the greatest need of their parents' care, she desired to offer and solemnly to consecrate herself to God, by presenting herself in the temple. Hence, of her own accord, she requested her parents, with earnestness, to take her there, that they might thus accomplish their promise. And her holy mother, says Saint Gregory of Nyssa, "did not long delay leading her to the temple, and offering her to God.""
