The 7 Sorrows of Our Lady / Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows

 This consists of beginning with a Hail Mary, then meditation on each one of the 7 sorrows (a Hail Mary for each), then ending with The Memorarae:

The Seven Sorrows of Our Lady

  1. The Prophecy of Simeon
  2. The Flight into Egypt
  3. The Loss of the child Jesus in the Temple
  4. The Meeting of Mary and Jesus on the Way to Calvary
  5. The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
  6. The Piercing of the Side of Jesus and His Descent from the Cross
  7. The Burial of Jesus

    Hail Mary

    Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen


     The Memorare

    Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency, hear and answer me. Amen
