DEVOTION TO THE SEVEN SORROWS OF THE VIRGIN MARY
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 St. Bridget. The following are the seven sorrows of Mary with a suggested reading for each sorrow from the Bible and from the visions of Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich. These readings are only suggested, a person may make up their own mental meditations of the seven sorrows as they pray the seven Hail Marys.
SEVEN SORROWS OF THE VIRGIN MARY:
- THE PROPHECY OF SIMEON.
(St. Luke II, 34, 35) - THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT.
(St. Matthew II, 13-14) - THE LOSS OF THE CHILD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE.
(St. Luke II, 43-45) - 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.

(John 19: 38-42)
THE SEVEN GRACES GIVEN TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT MEDITATE ON THE SEVEN SORROWS OF THE VIRGIN MARY(As revealed to Saint Bridget by the Blessed Mother)
- I will grant peace to their families.
- They will be englightened 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 defend them in their spiritual battles with 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.
