PROPHESY

Dear sisters in Christ,

We gather on this final day of our Regional Assembly, united in prayer and devotion. Today, we honour our Blessed Mother, Mother of Sorrows, who stood steadfast beside her Son, Jesus, in His passion and death. Mary’s unwavering faith in Jesus, even in sorrow, as faithful companion inspires us to stand firm in our faith. Mary’s heart, pierced by seven swords of sorrow, reveals her courageous love for Jesus. Mary’s suffering makes her a compassionate companion for all who face adversity. Mary’s trust in God’s plan, despite unbearable pain, guides us through life’s challenges. Mary’s prayers can obtain for us the strength to bear our own crosses.

Let us pay tribute to our Mother, patroness, and guide, source of graces, interceding, always by our side. We thank you, dear Mother, for your loving care, watching over our Congregation, with tender love and prayer as we join in the Angelus.
