Our Lady of Sorrows

Stabat mater dolorosa
iuxta Crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filius.

At the Cross her station keeping,
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
close to Jesus to the last.

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. The popular image of Our Lady of Sorrows is taken from the biblical verse,

And thy own soul a sword shall pierce.
Luke 2:35
