September 15 is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Ahead of this feast, the Association will celebrate its monthly member Novena of Masses beginning Friday, September 6, and concluding on the eve of the feast day.

You are invited to send your petitions for remembrance during these Masses and on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows on September 15. Your needs will be placed near Mary’s Altar here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.

You may also burn a Votive Light at the Shrine as a sign of your spiritual presence throughout the novena.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta called our sufferings “the kiss of Jesus –– a sign that you have come so close to Him on the cross that He can kiss you.” Please share your petitions so that we may present them to the Holy Mother of God on your behalf.
