Although he was a Son

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 Our Lady of Sorrows (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: Hebrews 5:7-9 Psalm 31:2-6, 15-16, 20 John 19:25-27 or Luke 2:33-35

Hebrews 5:8  Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

Even though he was a Son he learned through what he suffered.  We try so hard to avoid all suffering that I wonder if we ever really learn anything.  If Jesus, the Son of God did not put himself above suffering why do we think that we have the right and how do we think that we will be changed?

Father, help me to learn through my suffering, yet I still cry out to you.

Amen
