The Seven Sorrows of Mary: Why You Should Know Them and Pray Them. You’ll see that her sorrows are not tragedies. They certainly are difficult struggles, but because Mary was and is so close to God, anything that happened in her life could not be ruinous. Her son was crucified, died, and was buried. But! He rose again.
Love of God sustained her through her sorrows as the love of God sustains those who trust and believe in Him. As Christians, we should remember that when we look at the crucifix we should never see it without remembering the Resurrection. When the world trips us up or sadness floods into your life, we should remember Noah’s rainbow and think of God’s promises.
Look forward to eternal life in heaven with all your might, offering even the sorrows of this life to God! September 15th is the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, one of Mary’s many titles. Make a genuine effort to attend Mass, pray her Seven Sorrows, or both.
The Seven Sorrows of Mary are important for us to know and pray. They are all based on scripture and help us recall Mary’s role in salvation history. It is said that Mary revealed to St. Bridget of Sweden seven promises to those who will pray these sorrows. After reading the promises, you will surely want to implement this devotion in your prayer life.
