The month of September is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows. Each month of the liturgical year is devoted to a particular Catholic tradition, usually centered on a Feast during that month. As August was the month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, September follows as the Month of Our Lady of Sorrows.
We see this theme of joy followed by affliction mirrored in the liturgical calendar in two September feasts – the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14 and the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows on September 15. Happy the heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary! She, without, dying, earned the treasure of martyrdom beneath the Cross of our Lord for her anguish.
The name of Our Lady of Sorrows centers on the extraordinary and bittersweet suffering the Blessed Mother experienced during Christ’s Passion. During this month of September, we are drawn into the spiritual martyrdom that the Blessed Mother experienced during the physical martyrdom of Jesus. The evils of sin are manifest but conquered through intense suffering. The Blessed Mother’s tears of anguish reflect God’s washing away of sin. If you haven’t ever prayed the Seven Sorrows Chaplet, you might want to consider exploring this devotion.
RCIA is not simply a series of classes, but more a process of prayer, reflection, growing in awareness of God’s loving call and responding to that call. Come, discover where Jesus might be calling you. All inquiries are welcome and an immediate commitment is not required.
We will begin on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 and will meet in the Parish Office from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm to pray together, to learn about what the Church teaches, to have open discussions about our life of faith in Christ and to grow together as disciples of Christ.
All parishioners are welcome to attend our RCIA. Feel free to learn more about your faith and to share your faith with others.
