Our Lady of Sorrows willingly accepted the mission of being the Mother of the Savior. Though she did not know every detail of her future suffering, she embraced God's plan with unconditional love. In the home of Nazareth, she nurtured the Holy Family with faith, humility, and perseverance.
The Holy Family is the perfect model for all families. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus lived in perfect harmony, united in love and strengthened in faith. Their home was truly a domestic church, a place of holiness and peace.
