Reflect
During Lent as we are called to look more closely at the Stations of the Cross, we witness Jesus falling and his mother being there. May this prayer remind you that Mary sees how heavy your own cross can be.
Pray
Dear Mary,
Perfect mother that you are,
when your child
needed you the most,
you found him.
Help us trust that,
as we buckle under the weight
of life’s burdens,
you come so near to us
that our sorrows
also become yours.
And we can keep going.
Act
Take some time to meditate on the Stations, and see how quickly in the story Mary appears.
