## Resource

Fully understanding the Passion of our Lord can be daunting, and we also run the risk of allowing it to become less-than-special. However, if we meditate on Our Sorrowful Mother, she will constantly invite us to understand the effects of our sins in a new and powerful light. In this episode, meditate on the image above while listening to a meditation by Fr. Bonaventure Hammer OFM. The image above is by French painter, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and can be downloaded in high-resolution from Wikimedia Commons . The devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows as given to St. Bridget of Sweden, which carries with it a promise of seven graces for those who practice the devotion, can be found here: https://carmelitesistersocd.com/devotion-to-our-lady-of-sorrows/ Our work here on Substack is made available at no charge, but that doesn’t mean that it’s free to make.
