Our Lady of Sorrows

14These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly, 15but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

16Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great:

God was revealed in the flesh,

justified in the spirit,

seen by angels,

preached among the nations,

believed on in the world,

and received up in glory.

1Praise the LORD!

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,

in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2The LORD’s works are great,

pondered by all those who delight in them.

3His work is honor and majesty.

His righteousness endures forever.

4He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.

The LORD is gracious and merciful.

5He has given food to those who fear him.

He always remembers his covenant.

6He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the heritage of the nations.

25But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
