Our Lady of Sorrows — The Devotion Behind the Seven Sorrows Chaplet
The Seven Sorrows of Mary are seven specific events in Scripture and Tradition in which the Blessed Virgin Mary experienced profound grief united to the suffering of her Son. They are: the prophecy of Simeon at the Presentation (Luke 2:34-35), the flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13-14), the loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:43-45), Mary meeting Jesus on the way to Calvary, the Crucifixion and death of Jesus (John 19:25-27), the taking down of Christ's body from the Cross, and the burial of Jesus. Each sorrow is a window into the co-redemptive role Mary plays in salvation history — not as a co-redeemer in the theological sense, but as the one who stood closest to the Cross and united her maternal suffering to the sacrifice of her Son.
The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is celebrated on September 15, the day after the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Pope Pius VII extended this feast to the universal Church in 1814. The Servite Order, founded in Florence in 1233, has been the primary custodian of this devotion for nearly eight centuries. Praying the Seven Sorrows Chaplet is a way of entering into Mary's grief, growing in compassion, and asking for her powerful intercession — particularly in times of personal suffering, loss, or spiritual dryness.
