Jesus, being God, could have preserved her from that. He could have brought her home to heaven before those events occurred, for Instance, as happened with St. Joseph. But he didn\u2019t. Somehow, his love for his mother included allowing her to suffer, and to suffer deeply, painfully, terribly.\n\nWhy? That\u2019s what this Retreat Guide, A Mother\u2019s Tears: A Retreat Guide on Our Lady of Sorrows, will delve into.\n\nIn this Retreat Guide, A Mother\u2019s Tears, we will reflect on this amazing gift.\n<ul>\n \t<li>In the meditations, we will reflect on the meaning behind the ancient liturgical celebration of Our Lady of Sorrows, which the Church commemorates every year on September 15th.<\/li>\n \t<li>And in the conference, we will unpack the meaning behind the traditional Catholic practice of \u201coffering up\u201d our sufferings.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\"
