Summary: The Seven Sorrows  of the Blessed Virgin Mary (http://www.discerninghearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/olsorrows.jpg)The Virgin Mary, who believed in the word of the Lord, did not lose her faith in God when she saw her Son rejected, abused and crucified. Rather she remained beside Jesus, suffering and praying, until the end. And she saw the radiant dawn of His Resurrection. Let us learn from her to witness to our faith with a life of humble service, ready to personally pay the price of staying faithful to the Gospel of love and truth, certain that nothing that we do will be lost. â Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus â September 13, 2009 Collect: Father, as Your Son was raised on the cross, His mother Mary stood by Him, sharing His sufferings. May Your Church be united with Christ in His suffering and death and so come to share in His rising to new life, where He lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Devotion from the revelation to St. Bridget of Sweden: For more prayers for Our Lady of Sorrows (http://www.discerninghearts.com/?page_id=2768)
