2 - The transitional question: "Someone may say: how can the Junçfrau Mary hear me, how can she love me if I am such a sinner. She is so holy. How can she understand my pitiful state if she is the happiest of all creatures when she is queen of heaven and earth? To this question, the second word of the title "The Virgin Mary - the Reeth of Sorrow" gives you a clear answer." II.The Painful: Look only at her life and ask if anyone has so littened, as she, the Queen of the Mätyrs. Look only into the court of Pilate and pay attention. (Here I wrote the condemnation of Jesus by Pilate according to the H1st Mathaeus, chap.27, verses 11 - 31). Just look at her when she meets her Charity-loved Son on the Way of the Cross (here I describe the 4th Station of the Way). Just stand for a moment in the shadow of St. Calvary with the Virgin Mary.

For the Jewish people, to whom Jeuas has done so much good and who called him a joyful Hosana a few days ago, cry today: crucify him! Application: Therefore, in all that the darkness carries into your soul, turn to the painful Mother of God! She understands you, she will help you! /a$ The sinners, that they may be forgiven. In a lukewarm faith, that they may be raised to a quake of mercy. /0 So that those who struggle with temptation may be victorious, and those who are bound to the camp may suffer, or at least bear their sickness patiently, and thus gather a treasure of merit for eternity. e/ So that the unfortunate may not become melancholy. f/ So that those who are comforted by God in the expensive - 3 -
