For 15 September 2023, Our Lady of Sorrows, based on Luke 2:33-35
And the Jesus’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’

Dear Barbara,
Your preaching was so sensitive and caring for all who nurture someone and then feel the loss when that person dies. Your compassion comes through so well even choosing the stanzas from the Stabat Mater. Thank you ever so much as I have lost three mothers in my life…my birth mother, my adopted mother and stepmother. All is gift!
Continued blessings on your preaching and ministry in Great Bend. The Holy Spirit is using all your gifts and you are sharing them so generously.
Love and prayer,
Brigid, OP
