Friday of Sorrows, Passion Friday,
also called “Our Lady of Sorrows Friday” is observed on coming Friday, the
Friday before Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week. It focuses on
the deep spiritual suffering of Mother Mary as she accompanies Jesus Christ on
His journey toward Calvary. The devotion centers on the Seven Sorrows of Mary: (1)the
prophecy of Simeon, (2)the flight into Egypt, (3)the loss of Child Jesus, (4)meeting
Jesus on the way to Calvary, (5)standing at the Cross, (6)receiving His body,
and (7)His burial. These sorrows symbolize FAITH amid suffering, obedience to
God’s will, and redemptive love. Traditionally, the day is marked by prayer,
reflection, and meditations such as the Seven Sorrows Rosary, inviting
believers to unite their own suffering with Mother Mary’s and trust in God’s
saving plan.
Have a Blessed Passion Friday
All!!
