The Blessed Mother's Tear Drop Earrings
As we mourn and weep in this valley of tears, let us open our hearts to Our Lady of Sorrows, that we might find comfort and solace in her most Immaculate Heart.
Weeping is throughout the Bible, and St. Augustine even wrote that “Tears are the heart’s blood.”
Acknowledging the spiritual efficacy of tears, the Church even offers a Mass called “For the Gift of Tears,” and has this beautiful Collect:
Almighty and most gentle God,
who brought forth from the rock
a fountain of living water for your thirsty people,
bring forth we pray,
from the hardness of our heart, tears of sorrow,
that we may lament our sins
and merit forgiveness from your mercy.
These miniature tear drop earrings can remind us to look past our own sorrow to that of Our Lady, particularly during the season of Lent.
Apprx: 0.3" x 0.5"
