Hymn

Is there one who would not weep,
whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?
Can the human heart refrain
from partaking in her pain,
in that Mother’s pain untold?
Stabat Mater, 13th century (verses 5-6, translation by Edward Caswall)

Reflection

How can we turn our compassion for Jesus outward, to embrace all who are outcast, forsaken and forgotten?

Prayer

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Through your faithfulness, you have redeemed the world.
