The Cross: Embracing Suffering to Grow Closer to God

At the foot of the Cross was Mary. Her sorrow ran deep seeing her son, Jesus wounded and dying as he emptied himself for the sake of the world. Today we discuss the importance of embracing the Cross and suffering in our own lives. The Cross is the bridge to love and to the Father. When you face suffering, difficulty, and pain, don’t resent it but instead lay it down at the feet of Jesus and know that the Blessed Mother will help you because she too felt the agony of Calvary. Trust more in Christ who gave her out of his great love to the world. She carries our sorrows and because we are her children Mary brings us closer to the sacred Heart of Jesus.
