Lenten Journey Through the Sorrows of Mary: Mary stood in sorrow weeping

March 13
At the cross her station keeping,
Mary stood in sorrow weeping
When her Son was crucified.
For Reflection:
Father Faber tells us that each consecutive suffering of Our Lady outstripped its predecessor in pain, because each new suffering had “more love to torture, and therefore more power of inflicting pain.” In this first verse of the Stabat Mater, Mary experiences the fifth sword to her heart. She is at the summit of her suffering. Consider Father Faber’s quote in light of this. What do you think he means by “more love to torture?” What is the connection between love and pain? To what extent are you willing to truly love?
