Our Lady of Sorrows: September 15




the 7 Sorrows of Mary:
1. The prophecy of Simeon.
2. The flight into Egypt.
3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple.
4. Mary meets Jesus carrying His cross.
5. The Crucifixion
6. Mary received the Body of Jesus from the cross
7. The Body of Jesus is placed in a tomb.

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants
.....7 special graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying 7 Hail Mary's
.....and meditating on her tears and dolors.

THE SEVEN GRACES:
1. I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.
3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work.
4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the
.....adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy, and
.....I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death; they will see
..... the face of their mother.
7. I have obtained (this grace) from my divine Son, that those who propagate this
.....devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to
.....eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be
..... their eternal consolation and joy.

Ah, Holy Mother of God, we love you!

Thank you Sandy

Thank you Sandy for posting this. We used to pray the chaplet of the Seven Sorrows, but haven't done it in a long time. We were praying seven Hail Marys for each sorrow. Is that the right way, or should we just pray one Hail Mary for each sorrow? It was taking so long the other way ... but the promises are so beautiful.

[Maryschild]

athenacp and spirit, you are very welcome.

Spirit,

If you pray one Hail Mary with meditating on each of the 7 sorrows...
I know Our Lady of Sorrows will love your prayers...sometimes it is
better to pray from your heart with the one Hail Mary, because you
will find that it will keep you faithful to the devotion... and will be beautiful
to our Blessed Mother.
You may even like to pray from the "Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother"
booklet that I use...

Prayed on the Chaplet
The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows
consists of 7 groups of 7 beads,
with 3 additional beads and a Crucifix.
Say each of the sorrows followed by 7 Hail Mary's.

The 7 groups of 7 Hail Mary's are recited in remembrance of
the 7 Sorrows of Mary:

A couple of years ago, I post the "Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother" with a picture

Catalog site today.

Thank you Sandy. I thought it was the 49 Hail Mary's. But you're right that praying from the heart is truly what counts.
