United in Our Lady's Suffering
Dear Friends in Christ, this Lent has shown me to open up my heart to God's will and trust. This past Friday, Our Lady of Sorrows, we are once again united in Her sorrows as we lost our sweet baby boy, Benedicto.
As my 3rd angle arrives in the mist of Our Lady's Sorrows, I feel her pain. As I walked through the cold and quiet hallway in the hospital yesterday to my room, I recall Our Lady's walk with her son during the carrying of the cross. As I try so hard to carry my cross of my sweet lost, I turn to Our Lord, who picks up my cross and units it with His.
As I feel this pain during the sadness of this labor that will not bring forth the joy of my baby's cry, I unit myself with Christ's suffering of the crown of thorns.
As I see him laying motionlessness, helpless, I unit my own helpless to Christ's saving words,
"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light".
During the start of Holy Week, I will be able to truly join in the sufferings of Our Lady, as we bury our son this Wednesday. Who less to be my true model , my shoulder to cry on, my Life and my being, than Our Dear Blessed Mother as she will show me the way to the Holy Cross.
Please keep us in your prayers.
May you have a true and meaningful Holy Week as we wait for the beautiful rise of the sun on Glorious Sunday, as Our Lord over comes all suffering, all sadness, for love and joy.
