The Seven Sorrows of Mary

  • The prophecy of Simeon.

  • The flight into Egypt.

  • The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple.

  • The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.

  • The Crucifixion.

  • The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross.

  • The burial of Jesus.

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and dolors. The devotion was passed on by Saint Bridget.


The Seven Graces

  • I will grant peace to their families.

  • They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.

  • I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.

  • 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.

  • I will protect them against the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.

  • I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.

  • 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 the earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary

Pray one Hail Mary while meditating on each of the Seven Sorrows of Mary:

  • The prophecy of Simeon.

  • The flight into Egypt.

  • The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple.

  • The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.

  • The Crucifixion.

  • The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross.

  • The burial of Jesus.

 

Then pray three Hail Marys in remembrance of the tears Mary shed because of the suffering of Her Divine Son.

Concluding prayers:

Pray for us, O Most Sorrowful Virgin, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Lord Jesus, we now implore, both for the present and for the hour of our death, the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Your Mother, whose Holy Soul was pierced during Your Passion by a sword of grief. Grant us this favor, O Savior of the world, Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
