Thursday, Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows

And you yourself a sword will pierce…. (Luke 2:25)

Simeon spoke prophetically to Mary when she and her husband presented their son in the Temple. The prophecy was fulfilled as she stood before Jesus at his crucifiction.

She is there with the consolation that is the gift of her own child.
