September is the month of The Seven Sorrows of Mary

Aside from Jesus, no human being has suffered more than our Blessed Mother. In perfect obedience to the will of God, she consented to her Son’s torture, humiliation, and brutal execution for our salvation. As any parent knows, watching one’s child suffer is the greatest suffering of all. She still bears the sufferings of her Divine Son in her heart.
