The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a popular Catholic devotion dating back to the thirteenth century. It is particularly practised in the month of September, as the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is celebrated on the 15th of September.
The Seven Sorrows are:
1. The prophecy of the holy Simeon
2. The flight of Jesus, Mary and Joseph into Egypt
3. The loss of the child Jesus in the Temple
4. The meeting of Jesus and His Mother Mary on the way to Calvary
5. The crucifixion and death of Jesus
6. The piercing of Jesus’ side and the descent from the cross
7. The burial of Jesus in the sepulchre
Devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Mary should be practised especially by those who wish to rid themselves of sinful habits. This devotion—
- nourishes the spirit of compunction;
- affords great consolation;
- strengthens confidence in God’s mercy;
- draws down the special protection of the Blessed Mother in the hour of temptation;
- preserves the converted sinner from relapsing into sin.
This popular book was first published in 2011. It has now been completely revised, with additional prayers and devotions, the inclusion of illustrations by the nineteenth century French artist Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836–1902), and enhanced formatting designed for newer Kindle devices.
This second edition of The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary contains an expanded and re-written Introduction with additional information about the history of the devotion and its spiritual benefits.
Part 1 of the book consists of miscellaneous prayers and other devotions.
Part 2 is a step-by-step guide to praying the popular Servite Rosary (or Chaplet) of the Seven Sorrows. Each prayer is repeated under its own heading, mimicking the use of beads, so that the Rosary can be recited without the use of a chaplet bead set, which is made up of seven septaines of beads. The Rosary is presented here with selections of texts from the Gospels and Old Testament.
Part 3 is a set of Reflections on the Seven Sorrows written by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri. These have been taken from his book, The Glories of Mary, which was translated from Italian into English for the first time in the mid-nineteenth century in the United States.
