Our
Lady of Sorrows The Catholic Church
celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows on Sept. 15,
immediately following the feast of the Exaltation of the
Holy Cross. Mary presented several promises to St. Bridget
of Sweden to those who devote themselves to the seven
sorrows of her heart.
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 (sorrows). The Seven Sorrows &
Seven Prayers In Honor Of The Seven Sorrows Of The Blessed
Virgin Mary
The Angelic
Salutation (Hail Mary)
Salutatio
Angelica (Ave Maria) These seven prayers
presented in this format were approved by Pope Pius VII in
1815. They start with the following introduction:
V. O God, come to my
assistance (The Hail Mary is prayed
a total of seven times: once after each of the seven
prayers.) Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our
death, Amen 1. The Prophecy of
Simeon: "And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his
mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and for the
resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall
be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that
out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed." – Luke II,
34-35. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful, in the affliction of thy tender heart at the
prophecy of the holy and aged Simeon. Dear Mother, by thy
heart so afflicted, obtain for me the virtue of humility and
the gift of the holy fear of God Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 2.
The Flight Into Egypt: "And after they (the wise men)
were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep
to Joseph, saying: Arise and take the child and His mother
and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee.
For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to
destroy Him. Who arose and took the child and His mother by
night, and retired into Egypt: and He was there until the
death of Herod." – Matt. II, 13-14. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful, in the anguish of thy most affectionate
heart during the flight into Egypt and thy sojourn there.
Dear Mother, by thy heart so troubled, obtain for me the
virtue of generosity, especially toward the poor, and the
gift of piety. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 3. The Loss of the
Child Jesus in the Temple: "And having fulfilled the
days, when they returned, the Child Jesus remained in
Jerusalem; and His parents knew it not. And thinking that he
was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought
him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And not finding
Him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking Him." Luke II,
43-45. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful, in those anxieties which tried thy troubled
heart at the loss of thy dear Jesus. Dear Mother, by thy
heart so full of anguish, obtain for me the virtue of
chastity and the gift of knowledge. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 4. Mary Meets Jesus on
the Way to Calvary:: "And there followed Him a great
multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented
Him." – Luke XXIII, 27. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful in the consternation of thy heart at meeting
Jesus as he carried His Cross. Dear Mother, by thy heart so
troubled, obtain for me the virtue of patience and the gift
of fortitude. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 5. Jesus Dies on the
Cross:: "They crucified Him. Now there stood by the
cross of Jesus, His Mother. When Jesus therefore had seen
His Mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, He saith
to His Mother: Woman: behold thy son. After that he saith to
the disciple: Behold thy Mother." – John XIX, l8-25-27.
I grieve for thee O Mary,
most sorrowful, in the martyrdom which thy generous heart
endured in standing near Jesus in His agony. Dear Mother, by
thy afflicted heart, obtain for me the virtue of temperance
and the gift of counsel. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 6. Mary Receives
Jesus:: "Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counselor, came
and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking Him down, wrapped
Him up in the fine linen." – Mark XV, 43-46. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful, in the wounding of thy compassionate heart,
when the side of Jesus was struck by the lance and His Heart
was pierced before His body was removed from the Cross. Dear
Mother, by thy heart thus transfixed, obtain for me the
virtue of fraternal charity and the gift of understanding. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) 7. Jesus Is Placed In
The Tomb: "Now there was in the place where He was
crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher,
wherein no man yet had been laid. There, therefore, because
of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the
sepulcher was nigh at hand." John XIX, 41-42. I grieve for thee, O Mary
most sorrowful, for the pangs that wrenched thy most loving
heart at the burial of Jesus. Dear Mother, by thy heart sunk
in the bitterness of desolation, obtain for me virtue of
diligence and the gift of wisdom. Say one Ave Maria
(Hail Mary) After the seven prayers,
we conclude with the following: V. Pray for us, O Virgin
most sorrowful Let us Pray Let intercession be made
for us, we beseech Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, now and at the
hour of our death, before the throne of Thy mercy, by the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Thy Mother, whose most holy soul was
pierced by a sword of sorrow in the hour of Thy bitter
Passion. Through Thee, Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world,
Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost lives and reigns,
world without end. Amen. 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 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 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 sorrows will be
taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness,
since all their sins will be forgiven and My Son will be
their eternal consolation and joy.” 1) “That
those who invoke the divine mother by her sorrows, before
death will merit to obtain true repentance of all their
sins.” 2) “That
he will protect such in their tribulations, especially at
the hour of death.” 3) “That
he will impress upon them the memory of his passion, and
that they shall have their reward for it in heaven.” 4) “That
he will commit such devout servants to the hands of Mary,
that she may dispose of them according to her pleasure, and
obtain for them all the graces she desires.”
Sensus Fidelium: Our Lady of
Sorrows ~ Fr. Chad Ripperger, Theologian, Philosopher and
Exorcist
The Annunciation
In
the
sixth
month
the angel
Gabriel
was
sent
by
God
to a
town
in
Galilee
called
Nazareth,
to
a
virgin
betrothed
to
a man
named
Joseph,
of
the
House
of
David;
and
the
virgin's
name
was
Mary.
He went in
and
said
to
her,
"Rejoice,
so
highly
favored!
The
Lord
is
with
you."
She
was
deeply
disturbed
by
these
words
and
asked
herself what this
greeting
could
mean,
but
the
angel said
to
her,
"Mary,
do
not
be
afraid;
you
have
won
God's
favor.
Listen!
You
are
to
conceive and
bear
a
son,
and
you
must
name
him
Jesus.
He will be
great
and
will be
called
Son
of
the
Most
High.
The
Lord
God
will
give
him
the throne
of
his
ancestor
David;
he
will
rule
over
the
House
of
Jacob
for
ever
and
his
reign
will
have
no
end."
Mary
said
to
the
angel,
"But
how
can
this come
about,
since
I
am
a virgin?""The
Holy
Spirit
will
come
upon
you,"
the angel
answered,
"and
the
power
of
the
Most
High
will
cover
you
with
its
shadow.
And
so
the
child
will
be
holy
and
will
be
called Son of
God.
Know
this
too: your
kinswoman
Elizabeth
has,
in
her
old
age,
herself
conceived
a son, and she
whom
people
called
barren
is
now
in
her
sixth
month,
for nothing
is impossible
to God."
·"I
am
the
handmaid
of
the
Lord," said Mary,
"let
what
you
have
said
be
done
to
me."
And
the
angel
left
her. (Luke 1:26-38)
The Visitation
Mary
set
out at that
time
and
went
as
quickly
as
she
could
to a town in
the
hill
country
of
Judah.
She went
into
Zechariah's
house
and
greeted
Elizabeth.
Now
as
soon
as
Elizabeth
heard
Mary's
greeting,
the
child
leaped
in
her
womb
and
Elizabeth
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Spirit.
She
gave
a
loud
cry
and
said,
"Of
all
women
you
are
the
most
blessed,
and
blessed
is
the fruit
of
your
womb.
Why
should
I
be
honored
with
a
visit
from the mother
of
my
Lord?
For
the
moment
your greeting reached
my
ears,
the
child
in
my
womb
leaped
for joy.
Yes, blessed
is
she
who
believed
that the
promise made
her
by
the
Lord
would be fullfilled. (Luke 1:39-45) The Magnificat
(Mary's Song)
And Mary said: "My soul doth magnify
the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his
handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall
call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great
things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from
generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath
shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the
conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from
their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the
hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty
away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of
his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his
seed for ever. Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) The Wedding at Cana
Three days later there was a wedding
at Cana in
Galilee.
The mother of
Jesus was there, and Jesus
and his disciples
had also been invited.
When
they ran out of wine, since the wine provided
for the wedding
was all finished,
the mother
of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." Jesus said,
"Woman,
why
turn to me? My hour has not
come yet." His mother
said to the servants,
"Do
whatever
he tells
you."There
were
six stone water jars standing
there, meant
for the ablutions
that are
customary
among the
Jews: each could hold twenty
or
thirty
gallons.
Jesus said to the servants,
"Fill the jars with water,"
and they
filled them to the brim. "Draw
some out now," he told them,. "and take it to the
steward."
They did this; the steward
tasted the
water, and it had turned
into
wine. Having
no idea where it came from - only the servants
who had
drawn
to
the water knew - the
steward
called the bridegroom
and said, "People
generally
serve the
best wine first, and
keep the cheaper
sort till the guests have had plenty
to drink; but you have kept the best wine till now."
This was the first of the signs
given by Jesus: it was given at Cana in Galilee. He let
his glory be seen, and his disciples believed in him.
(John 2:1-12)
Blessing of the Rosary by Father
Richard Hellman Almighty and merciful
God, whom it pleased to reveal the mystery of the
Blessed Trinity through your only-begotten Son, and
through the prophets and the apostles, so that we on
earth, imitating the choirs of holy angels might offer
devout and worthy praise to you; we appeal to your
goodness, asking that you bless and hallow these
rosaries (this rosary), which the Church has sanctioned
for the honor and praise of the Most Holy Trinity. Let
them (it) be endowed with such power of the Holy +
Spirit, that whoever carries one on his person or
reverently keeps it in his home, or devoutly recites it
may be protected by you from every danger to body and
soul. Let him (her) share in all the graces, privileges
and indulgences granted by the Holy See; and in the hour
of death let him (her) deserve to be presented by your
holy angels at the throne of your divine majesty;
through Christ our Lord.
