“God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation you have made manifest your love: when our need for a Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary. To our lives, he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love.” Since early childhood, my fascination with the face of Christ resulted in a multitude of sketches, drawings, and photographs. Today, my mind’s eye continues this perception in wonderment. I yearn to see, feel, and touch this beatific vision. Blessed with humble skills, this is my current vision after three years of introspection and change of the face of Christ. I know that in heaven the just will see God by direct intuition, clearly and distinctly. Scripture and theology tell us that the blessed see God face to face. And because this vision is immediate and direct, it is also exceedingly clear and distinct. Battle against Evil: Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on an evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. EPHESIANS, 6:10-17](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000LMU7ONqpoDE/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000LMU7ONqpoDE.jpg)

<br />
The title "Our Lady of Sorrows" bestowed upon our Blessed Mother beckons our attention to her profound suffering and grief, most notably during the passion and death of our Lord. It encompasses the seven sorrows of Mary, as foretold by the Priest Simeon. "This child [Jesus] is destined to be the downfall and the rise of many in Israel, a sign that will be opposed, and you shall be pierced with a sword so that the thoughts of many hearts may be laid bare" Lk 2:34-35. These seven sorrows of our Blessed Mother weave a poignant narrative: the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt, the loss and finding of the child Jesus in the Temple, Mary's encounter with Jesus on His way to Calvary, her presence at the foot of the cross during our Lord's crucifixion, cradling Jesus as He was taken down from the cross, and His burial. In the prophecy of Simeon, a sword would pierce our Blessed Mother's heart, and find its fulfillment. Mary is depicted with her heart exposed and seven swords piercing it, symbolizing her profound sorrows. Her unwavering courage, love, and trust with which Mary embraced each trial, echoing her initial fiat: "Let it be done unto me according to thy word," first spoken at the Annunciation. This unwavering faith is beautifully depicted in the Adoration of the Madonna as a participant in the Passion of Christ, as captured in the iconographic tradition in 1672. Luke 2:34-35 serves as the foundation of this profound portrayal: "He blessed them and said to Mary his mother: 'Behold, this child is set for the fall and the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; and thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.'" In "Our Lady of Sorrows," we witness not only the depths of Mary's sorrow but also the enduring strength of her faith, an inspiration for all who encounter this ethereal work of art.](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000TEOwMlL4oA8/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000TEOwMlL4oA8.jpg)

The title, Our Lady of Sorrows, given to our Blessed Mother focuses on her intense suffering and grief during the passion and death of our Lord. Traditionally, this suffering was not limited to the passion and death event; rather, it comprised the seven sorrows of Mary, which were foretold by the Priest Simeon who proclaimed to Mary, This child [Jesus] is destined to be the downfall and the rise of many in Israel, a sign that will be opposed and you shall be pierced with a sword so that the thoughts of many hearts may be laid bare (Luke 2:34-35). These seven sorrows of our Blessed Mother included the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt; the loss and finding of the child Jesus in the Temple; Mary's meeting of Jesus on His way to Calvary; Mary's standing at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified; her holding of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross; and then our Lord's burial. In all, the prophecy of Simeon that a sword would pierce our Blessed Mother's heart was fulfilled in these events. For this reason, Mary is sometimes depicted with her heart exposed and with seven swords piercing it. More importantly, each new suffering was received with the courage, love, and trust that echoed her fiat, let it be done unto me according to thy word, first uttered at the Annunciation. Adoration of the Madonna as a participant in the Passion of Christ is the image of the iconographic tradition finished in 1672. Luke 2:34-35 "And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed."](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000Pf36JaMJDdk/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000Pf36JaMJDdk.jpg)

These seven sorrows of our Blessed Mother included the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt; the loss and finding of the child Jesus in the Temple; Mary's meeting of Jesus on His way to Calvary; Mary's standing at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified; her holding of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross; and then our Lord's burial. In all, the prophecy of Simeon that a sword would pierce our Blessed Mother's heart was fulfilled in these events. For this reason, Mary is sometimes depicted with her heart exposed and with seven swords piercing it. More importantly, each new suffering was received with the courage, love, and trust that echoed her fiat, let it be done unto me according to thy word, first uttered at the Annunciation. Adoration of the Madonna as a participant in the Passion of Christ is the image of the iconographic tradition finished in 1672. Luke 2:34-35 "And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed."](https://www.dinocarbetta.com/img-get2/I0000RsgjgxG_2bc/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000RsgjgxG_2bc.jpg)
