Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Standing near the cross of Jesus [was] His Mother.

-Jn 19:25

Reflection: During the entire course of her life, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, never deviated in the slightest from the precepts and examples of her Divine Son. This was true both in the most sweet joys Mary experienced and in the cruel sufferings she underwent, which made her the Queen of Martyrs.

-Pope Pius XII

Prayer: Lord Jesus, in all my sorrows let me imitate the fidelity of Your Mother. And through her intercession grant me Your consolation here and eternal joy in heaven.
