"All Gifts Are From the Father of Lights." The image depicts Mater Dolorosa with seven sorrowful wounds (swords) and armor Christi, looking down on souls in purgatory. This small but powerful prayer card offers a direct visual (and catechetical) connection between Mary's suffering, the Paschal Mystery (the suffering of Christ on the cross), and the Eucharist. It also offers a direct liturgical connection to 2 related feasts - The Triumph (Exaltation) of the Cross (September 14) and Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15).
