One week from today we commemorate especially the death of Jesus Christ. Today we contemplate “the Seven Sorrows of Mary”, those particular sufferings she bore by choice, for you and me:

The Circumcision and Prophecy of Simeon

The Flight into Egypt

The Loss of Jesus in the Temple

The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross

The Crucifixion

The Taking Down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross

Jesus laid in the Tomb
