Father,
as your Son was raised on the cross,
his mother Mary stood by him, sharing his sufferings.
May your Church be united with Christ
in his suffering and death
and so come to share in his rising to new life,
where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.<\/p>\n

Mater Dolorosa – Sorrowing Mother<\/span>
Rogier van der Weyden – Deposition (detail) — c. 1435<\/div>\n

Is there one who would not weep,
‘whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?<\/p>\n

Can the human heart refrain
from partaking in her pain,
in that Mother’s pain untold?<\/p>\n
