We all at one point or another in our lives we were all blasphemers! We did not hold dear to us all that is sacred, even our relationships with one another. All this changed when we first came into the knowledge of our loving God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Entering into that wonderful relationship with Him the scales from our eyes fell as Jesus revealed to us God our Heavenly Father whose abounding love for us brought us to Him. So that we can live free from sin in His love for all eternity.
Still more than we deserve, in His wisdom and great love for us, Jesus the Son of God our Heavenly Father; gave us Mary His mother to be our very own mother. And for all time she lovingly intercedes for us. She stands with us in our hour of need, to comfort and strengthen us. And when we stray, she points us back to the way, the truth and the life, Jesus our Lord. Amen
Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us…

1 Timothy 1:1-2,12-14 ·
I used to be a blasphemer, but the mercy of God was shown me
From Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the command of God our saviour and of Christ Jesus our hope, to Timothy, true child of mine in the faith; wishing you grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, and who judged me faithful enough to call me into his service even though I used to be a blasphemer and did all I could to injure and discredit the faith. Mercy, however, was shown me, because until I became a believer I had been acting in ignorance; and the grace of our Lord filled me with faith and with the love that is in Christ Jesus.
Gospel
John 19:25-27
‘Woman, this is your son’
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that moment the disciple made a place for her in his home.
