@neddamred.bsky.social

Father, you exalted the Virgin Mary
and crowned her Queen of heaven;
may the dead enter your kingdom
and rejoice with your saints for ever.

~ May Mary, full of grace, intercede for us.

Heavenly Father,
through the prayers of Mary, our mother:
heal the sick,

Mater Dolorosa, 1675, by #AndreaDeMena (#AndreaDeMenaYBitoria; Spanish, 1654-1734). Held by The Hispanic Society Museum & Library, hispanicsociety.emuseum.com/objects/9348... #OurLadyOfSorrows #FeastOfOurLadyOfSorrows #artherstory #womenartists #nuntastic

A statue of the bust of a woman wearing a white cloak that covers her head then drapes around her torso, underneath a blue cloak that covers her head and shoulders. Under the white and blue garments, a red bodice is visible. Her head tilts slightly toward her right shoulder. Her face is sorrowful; two tears track down the outside of her nose from the inside of her left eye. Under the bust is a shallow black pedestal, trimmed in gold where the edge juts out above and below the facing. In the middle of the black facing is a white label with handwriting in black indicating the name of the artist, the place of manufacture (Malaga) and the year.

Today's the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. The devotion became popular in the 13th Century, but was snuffed out in England by the Reformation. Mater Dolorosa by Pedro de Mena, active in Malaga 1648-88. Polychromed wood, glass eyes and tears, animal hair eyelashes. Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

On this Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, we remember Mary, who stood beneath the Cross with a heart pierced by grief. Her faith did not waver. She teaches us the power of presence, love, and surrender even in suffering. #jesus #jesuschrist #catholicchurch #catholic #ourladyofsorrows

15 September: Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. Devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows flourished in the Middle Ages. Her Sorrows are fixed at seven, including her witness of the Crucifixion. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us! #ourladyofsorrows
