Starting next Tuesday, February 23rd, the Sanctuary of Health and Peace, Father Eustáquio's church, will begin holding the meditation of the Crown of Sorrows of Our Lady during Lent. This will take place inside the church and will always begin at 6:15 PM.

In addition to tomorrow's meeting, the meditation on the Crown of Our Lady of Sorrows will also be held on the other Tuesdays of Lent. No tickets are required to participate; however, attendees will have their temperature checked and will be asked to sanitize their hands with hand sanitizer and their shoes by passing them over the sanitizing mat.

After the meditation, there will be a celebration of Holy Mass.

The Crown of Our Lady of Sorrows

The Crown of Our Lady of Sorrows, or Crown of Sorrows, originated in Italy in 1617, at the initiative of the Order of Servants of Mary, as did the Mass of Our Lady of Sorrows, which is now celebrated throughout the Church on September 15th.

This reflection recalls the principal sorrows that the Virgin Mary suffered in her earthly life, culminating in the passion, death, and burial of her Divine Son. It is at the foot of the Cross that the Mother of Jesus becomes the Mother of all men and of the Mystical Body of Christ: the Catholic Church.

Christian piety often venerates in a special way the The seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary, especially during Lent.
