'. . . those wounds which were scattered over the body of our Lord, were all united in the single heart of Mary.'

Hmmm... I've been getting many prompts this week concerning the sorrows of Our Lady.
I've some prayers at home about this that I haven't done in a while. Time to get them out again.

Yes, I think fostering a growing devotion to the sorrows of Mary truly helps us to understand a great deal of this life.  crucifix Remember the Seven Sorrows devotion?

Yes.. I've done the seven sorrows devotion in the past and received blessings and graces far beyond the effort I made to do it.   Another Hidden treasure so much neglected.

I think many of these devotions which I began in the past and petered out on regular observation of though still sometimes kept in mind I needed to develop more of a heart felt, slow and from within appreciation with.. I was trying to do too much outside and not enough inside. Smiley

Not that prayer is not labor!

Souls that have no habit of prayer are like a lame and paralytic body, which, though it has hands and feet, cannot use them. therefore, to abandon prayer seems to me the same thing as to lose the straight road; for as prayer is the gate through which all the graces of God come to us, when this is closed, I do not know how we can have any. -St Teresa of Avila

St Teresa proved this by her own experience; for having abandoned prayer for some time, she began to fall into certain faults and defects from which, though they were slight, she could not free herself; rather, she went daily from bad to worse. She was obliged to say that she was on the road to perdition, to which the Lord told her she would have come, if she had not resumed prayer.

I'm off to pray  cross prayer

I was doing the 7 Sorrows of Mary chaplet, but found I started to neglect the Rosary and shorten my contemplative-type prayer time. Undecided
