When praying the sorrowful mysteries I like to think about the people involved. Who were those who supported Christ in his passion? Simon of Cyrene helped him carry the cross (and I like to think his sons Rufus & Alexander were with him as they both became early members of the church). The women from Jerusalem including Veronica (who compassionately wiped his face) and His Blessed mother on the via dolorosa. At the cross his mother, St John, Mary Magdelene & Mary wife of Clopas. The good thief. The centurion after he pierced his side. There were many more who abused him, insulted and mocked him but the few who supported him must have consoled His Sacred Heart.
And the many future people who were there with Him in spirit--all those meditating on His Passion and loving Him through it.
