Tell My People

The Tears and Sorrows of Mary

Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a great devotion to my sorrows and tears. Tell my people about this devotion. Tell them I promise great blessings to all who say seven Hail Marys each day in honor of my tears and seven sorrows. Included in my promise is that of granting special assistance at the hour of death. At this moment, all who practice this devotion will see my face."

Reflection: Listed below are the seven sorrows of Mary. Let us each day recall these sorrows as we pray the seven Hail Marys as Our Lady requests.

  1. The prophecy of Simeon.
  2. The Flight into Egypt.
  3. The loss of Jesus in the Temple.
  4. Jesus and Mary meet during the way of the cross.
  5. Mary witnesses the crucifixion of her Son.
  6. Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms.
  7. The burial of Jesus.
