He was mocked, scourged,and crucified.

I think back to the Presentation, when Anna and Simeon at long last saw the baby Jesus in the arms of Mary and Joseph. She was told then that a sword would pierce her heart. For decades she had probably wondered just what was meant by that. The reality must have seemed far worse than the prophecy.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, Anne.NCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970104655551891786.post-63160964722755364412009-08-29T05:28:31.831-05:002009-08-29T05:28:31.831-05:00Anne,

With that scene we are also reminded of how she did the same for Him as a child in the little falls as He ran an played.<br />Thanks you for sharing this and for the beautiful prayer.<br />PS- I found that Jeremiah video on Happy Catholic's site. What a great song! Think maybe you need to add it to yours :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124468084334204166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970104655551891786.post-75425576209166698302009-08-29T04:36:24.094-05:002009-08-29T04:36:24.094-05:00Thank you for sharing as we have so many of these ...Thank you for sharing as we have so many of these moments in life.

Thank you.<br /><br />As I'm not a mother and will never be one (outside of the spiritual dimension) it helps to read such stories to help me understand Mary more fully.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970104655551891786.post-36297804305096626842009-08-28T23:29:22.794-05:002009-08-28T23:29:22.794-05:00In the Stations of the Cross, I often get stuck at...In the Stations of the Cross, I often get stuck at the one with the picture of Mary at the foot of the cross. It is so emotionally difficult for me to accept what she must have felt. As a mother, I could not imagine the pain of losing a child in this manner. How could she handle it? That is the thought that always has me in tears.Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.com
