GRACES AND PROMISES ATTACHED TO THE PRACTICE OF THE DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY SORROWING:

According to St. Alphonsus de Liguori (The Glories of Mary) it was revealed to Saint Elizabeth that at the request of Our Lady, Our Lord promised four principal graces to those devoted to Her Sorrows:

1. That those who before death invoke the divine Mother in the name of Her Sorrows will obtain true repentance of all their sins;
2. That He will protect all who have this devotion in their tribulations, and will protect them especially at the hour of death;
3. That He will impress on their minds the remembrance of His Passion;
4. That He will place such devout servants in Mother Mary’s hands to do with them as She wishes and to obtain for them all the graces She desires.

In addition to these four graces there are also seven promises attached to the practice of daily praying seven Hail Mary’s while meditating on Our Lady’s Tears and Sorrows.

THESE SEVEN PROMISES WERE REVEALED TO SAINT BRIDGET:

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 sorrows will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and My Son will be their eternal consolation and joy.”

I, your daughter, want to come closer to you and your Son Jesus. By the help of the Holy Spirit and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, I want to live fully the life that you have given to me and do your will. Guide me now as I seek to grow in wisdom and grace. Enlighten my heart and mind, and those of my sisters, as we choose how to best use the time and talents given us to come together in prayer, reflection and study. Thank you for loving me and all our group.

In Jesus name, Amen.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
