SEVEN SORROWS ROSARY
Sign of the Cross: In the name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen.
Introductory Prayer
My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
►3-Hail Mary's.

THE FIRST SORROW-THE PROPHECY OF SIMEON.Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
He took Jesus up in his arms and blessed God and said, "Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples.
And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against,and a sword will pierce through your own soul also, that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

THE THIRD SORROW: THE LOSS OF THE CHILD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE.And
when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem as usual for the festival. When the days were completed, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he said to them.
Then he went with them and came to Nazareth ,
and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

THE FIFTH SORROW: JESUS DIES ON THE CROSSStanding by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.

THE SIXTH SORROW: RECEIVES THE DEAD BODY OF JESUS IN HER ARMSSo the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
Jesus
is taken down from the cross and His body is placed in Mary's arms. The passion
and death are over, but for His mother, grief continues. She holds His body in
her arms. Then they took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

THE SEVENTH SORROW: THE BODY OF JESUS IS PLACED IN THE TOMB.Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by. The most tragic day in history ends, Mary alone in sorrow, awaiting the Resurrection.

PROMISES OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS:
These are the seven promises Our Lady made through St. Bridget of Sweden, to those who are devoted to meditating on her Seven 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 I 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 adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death. They will see the face of their Mother.
7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and suffering, 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.
