NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF SORROWS

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WE ARE REDEEMED AND FORGIVEN
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
Once we have received Jesus as our Lord, He delivers and saves us from our sinful lives. In the Old Covenant, the sinner would bring an animal to the priest to be sacrificed, in order for its shed blood to cover their sin. Under the New Covenant, Jesus’ blood that was shed at the cross not only covers our sins that we sincerely ask forgiveness for, but removes them forever.
The penalty for sin is death and Jesus died in our place so that all of us who received His pardon, when we leave these bodies, we will be with Jesus, enjoying His presence forever. All we have to do to receive complete forgiveness is to believe in Jesus and sincerely repent, thanks to God’s amazing grace.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
How amazing is Your grace and love, dear Lord! Only since I understood that Your love for me is so great that You sent Your beloved Son to die for me on the cross, have I found true happiness! Whenever I thank You for Your love, You pour it fresh into my spirit! You have no special demands about how I should receive Your love. It is up to me to communicate with You and acknowledge that You truly love me, to be refilled with Your lavishing love. Thank You Lord Jesus for all You did for me and for all You continue to offer me every day. Glory and honor to Your Holy Name. Amen.
