Our Lady of Sorrows (Homily – September 14, 2025)

On the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 14, 2025), Fr. Korey LaVergne reflects on Mary as our Mother and model for prayer.



Saint Paul urges us to intercede “for everyone”—friends, leaders, strangers, even enemies—because the Father “wills everyone to be saved.” At the Cross, Mary receives us as her children and teaches us how to turn sorrow into intercession. Grudges shrink our hearts, but Mary shows us how to widen them in prayer. “If you can stretch your arms out on the Cross for the whole world, then with you, I will stretch my heart wider too.”



Preached at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, Louisiana.
