Sept 6 - Our Lady of Tears (Italy, 1553)

Show Me You Are My Son!

One day a sinner said to the Blessed Virgin, "Show me you are my mother." And she answered, "And you, show me you are my son."

 

And to another one who also called her, addressing her as "Mother of Mercy", she said, "You sinners, when you want my help, you call me Mother of Mercy, but you never stop turning me into a mother of misery and pain by your sins."

 

Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
The Glories de Mary


Hail Mary,

full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of death.

Amen.
