September 15 (passionate love)
O Lamb of God, Mary's passionate love for You
caused her to suffer when she watched Your enemies inflict their tortures upon
You and slowly kill You. She offered up the piercing of her heart as if her
life were an altar, sacrificing her beloved Son for the salvation of the
world. Through it all, she did not feel sorry for herself nor did she
complain, because she accepted her pain for our sakes, in passionate love for
us. I ask her to take my sorrows and sufferings and lift them up to You as an
offering for the people in my life who need healing emotionally, physically,
or spiritually. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us. Amen.
