Devotion to Our Lady of Seven Sorrows became a standard devotion in the Church
around the 14th century. It  was revealed to St. Bridget that devotion to the Seven Sorrows
would bring great signal graces.The devotion consists in praying Seven Hail Mary’s while
meditating on the Seven Sorrows of Mary.

2. The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13-21)
3. The Loss of Jesus for Three Days (Luke 2:41-50)
4. The Carrying of the Cross (John 19:17)
5. The Crucifixion of Jesus (John 19:18-30)
6. Jesus Taken Down from the Cross (John 19:39-40)
7. Jesus Laid in the Tomb (John 19:39-42) 
 
The Feast of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows is on September 15.
Seven Promises to Those who Meditate on Our Lady’s Tears and Dolors:
The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor daily by meditating
on her tears and sorrows (dolors). The Hail Mary is prayed seven times, once after each
meditation.   
                    
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 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."
