Ever since i was a child, I've felt really drawn to Our Lady of Sorrows. I would go to church with my mom and we would sit in front of her statue and her beauty haunted me, gave me peace.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen

You can never reblog the Memorare enough. It’s like reminding your mom how appreciative you are of her.
