The Seven Sorrows of Our Lady Devotion
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.
HERE ARE THE SEVEN GRACES:
I will grant peace to their families.
They will be enlightened 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 this earthly life to eternal
happiness
since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I
will
be their eternal consolation and joy.
