Seven Sorrows of Mary

The month of September is upon us and devoted to the Seven Sorrows of Mary. The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows occurs on 15th September and dates back to the 14th century. Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, appeared to St Bridget of Sweden and revealed this Rosary devotion to her. St Bridget devoted her life to following in the footsteps of Christ.

We pray this Rosary to learn to suffer with love, as Mary, the Mother of Jesus did. This Rosary can be prayed at any time, anywhere, in any season of life. It can be dedicated to the suffering of a friend, family member, ourselves, or the world. We pray this prayer when we need the guidance of the Blessed Virgin and when we need to remind ourselves of the joy that comes out of suffering.
