'When we feel our cross weighing upon us, let us have recourse to Mary, whom the Church calls the "Consoler of the Afflicted."'

Never was it known
that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided by thee.   :+:

She is also called 'Consolation of widows'.  Never made much sense to be before, now it does. :crucifix:

I would think that widows are certainly 'afflicted'. You have so much on your shoulders - it's amazing. :pathead:
