This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I'm blessed to be praying with one of my teams this evening,

with Sandy, my wife, and Teresa the Great and Sarah and her husband Nick and Kormak and my mom and

dad Art Nurla. So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

It's called to mind all those we promised to pray for in a special way for little one-year-old

Tommy who is in ICU with pneumonia for a successful

surgery and healing for Olivia Canili on the 20th for little Damien and that Margot will wake up.

Now today is the feast of our Lady of Sorrows.

In the approved apparition of Mary in Akitah, Japan, that took place from June 12, 1973 until September 15, 1981,

a statue of Mary wept blood and tears because so many of her children have turned away from God and are in danger of eternal loss.

In 1975, her guardian angel said to her, do not be surprised to see the Blessed Virgin

weeping. She weeps because she wishes for the conversion of the greatest number of her children, she desires that her

children be consecrated to her immaculate heart. But you might ask, how could Mary weep in heaven? Well,

sorrow is a God-given human emotion, and Mary is more fully alive in heaven,

body and soul, with the human emotions.

But she is not sad for herself.

The cause of her sadness is to see so many of her children rejecting God permanently,

rejecting heaven and choosing their own self-destruction.

She sheds tears to bring about our conversion,

to get our attention, and to call us to action.
