This devotion to Our Sorrowful Mother originated in the thirteenth century.
It recalls the Sorrows the Virgin Mother of God endured in compassion for the suffering and death of her Divine Son.
The Litany of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady found at the end of this booklet was composed by Pope Pius VII (1740-1823) while held in captivity during the Napoleonic Wars.
PROMISES St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) reported that
Our Lady promised to grant seven graces to those who honour her and draw near to her and her Son every day by meditating on her sorrows:
1. I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries.
3. I will console them in their pains and will accompany them in their work.
4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death-
7. I have obtained this grace will have eternal consolation and joy
