In this homily, we reflect on the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, exploring the profound relationship between suffering and joy. Deacon Pat discusses the seven sorrows of Mary and how her unwavering faith and hope during these trials serve as an example for us. We are invited to find joy and strength in our faith, even amidst life’s challenges, just as Mary did. This reflection encourages us to embrace suffering with patience and calls on Mary for intercession.
