Our Lady of Sorrows

Mary, like many mothers before her and since, had to go through the suffering of having her own son fall victim to the world's twisted cycle of violence, oppression, and war.

Women bear a disproportionate share of the injustice and suffering we human beings insist on making for ourselves. Just as Mary became the path of the Word into the world, so Our Lady of Sorrows can be a path for us to share in God's compassion for all the suffering women and mothers of our world.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
