5 Ways to Live out the Sorrows of Mary
More Ideas!!
1. The Prophecy of Simeon
Kneel down and thank God right after Mass ends, before leaving, as Jesus resides inside of you.
2. The Flight into Egypt
Offer your time and support (babysitting, write a note, etc) to single moms who don’t have a spouse or support system to walk with them through turbulent waters like Mary did.
3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple
Write a letter to or spend some time with someone who has lost a child or miscarried, especially on that child’s birthday, due date, or the day that they died.
4. The Meeting of Jesus & Mary on the Way to Calvary
Write down your worries, anxieties, and stressors. How can you offer these to God? Destroy the paper these are written on as you imagine Jesus carrying them for you.
5. The Crucifixion & Death of Jesus
Pray for those on their deathbed, especially those who need the extra push to accept Jesus before death.
