If anyone understands the value of suffering, it's Mother Mary. She suffered for the love of her Son and the Father.
A byproduct of love is suffering because we care so deeply for someone else and share in sadnesses, trials and sorrows. In sorrow and suffering comes an abundance of grace. So understand that good can come from sorrow if we trust in Jesus.
Prayer
Our Mother of Sorrows, with strength from above you stood by the cross, sharing in the sufferings of Jesus, and with tender care you bore him in your arms, mourning and weeping. We praise you for your faith, which accepted the life God planned for you.
We praise you for your hope, which trusted that God would do great things in you.
We praise you for your love in bearing with Jesus the sorrows of his passion.
Holy Mary, may we follow your example, and stand by all your children who need comfort and love.
Mother of God, stand by us in our trials and care for us in our many needs. Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
