Our Lady of Sorrows

Each September the Church celebrates the feast of the Exaltation of the
Holy Cross Sept. 14 followed by the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows on Sept. 15.

For centuries, Catholics have felt a unique closeness to the grieving mother whose son died on a cross, unjustly. The injustice exacerbates her suffering. No mother deserves to undergo the death of a child, much less if the death is unjust. Mary did.
