Co-Redemptrix Explained: Mary’s Sorrows at the Cross & the Stabat Mater

About this sermon

At the Cross her station keeping… This talk unpacks the beloved Stabat Mater and the mystery of Our Lady of Sorrows—from Good Friday “walking Our Lady home” to the Seven Sorrows, co-redemption, and the call to reparation. Drawing on Catholic tradition (Stations of the Cross, venerating the True Cross), the speaker reflects on Mary’s silent accompaniment, the meaning of condolere (“to suffer with”), and why the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15) right after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14). You’ll hear how saints and popes speak of Mary’s unique cooperation with Christ—her compassion united to His Passion—and why Catholics honor her as Mediatrix of grace and Co-Redemptrix (properly understood as “with,” not “equal to,” the Redeemer). The talk also highlights Fatima and the Five First Saturdays devotion as acts of love and reparation to the Immaculate Heart, answering offenses against Mary and consoling her Heart. There are moving pastoral moments too: consolations for mothers and families carrying heavy crosses; a meditation on tears turned into Easter joy; and the story of Bl. Herman Contractus (Herman the Cripple), composer of the Salve Regina, who teaches us to call upon our Mother in this “valley of tears.” 📿 In this video: Stabat Mater meaning • Good Friday processions (“Walking Our Lady Home”) • Seven Sorrows • Co-redemption • Popes on Mary’s role • Fatima/First Saturdays • Reparation • Passion of the Christ imagery • Herman Contractus & the Salve Regina • Why more sorrow ⇒ more joy.
