Coming Soon: The Seven Sorrows of Mary

In addition to the traditional fifteen mysteries, we are preparing meditations on the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary—a powerful devotion that draws us into the heart of Our Lady's compassion and sorrow at the foot of the Cross.

The Seven Sorrows

  • I. The Prophecy of Simeon
  • II. The Flight into Egypt
  • III. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple
  • IV. Mary Meets Jesus on the Way of the Cross
  • V. Jesus Dies on the Cross
  • VI. Mary Receives the Body of Jesus
  • VII. The Body of Jesus is Placed in the Tomb

"O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins."
