Sorrow for Grieving a Mother
Luke 2:48
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold…


When Garibaldi saw any one looking at his mother's picture the tears started into his eyes. He felt remorse at having, by his adventurous life, been a source to her of cruel anxiety. He believed in the power of her prayers to preserve him from the effects of his own temerity, and on the field of battle, or in the storm at sea, he never lost courage, because he thought he saw her kneeling before God and imploring for him the Divine protection.
