Description
The Rosary of Our Lady of Sorrows reflects upon episodes in the lives of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, enduring so much suffering as the mother of the Messiah, prophesied to be despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows.
From the flight into Egypt to the Cross, their two hearts shared the anguish of the sorrowful events in their most intimate and perfect union, as He sees the sword piercing her soul, and she witnesses his rejection, torment and humiliation.
As Christians we are called by Our Lord to share the sufferings of His Blessed Mother with heartfelt compassion. This traditional devotion offers a means to meditate upon the sorrows in the Life of Christ and on His Passion, and upon Mary’s maternal love and her grace-filled life of faithful obedience, the perfect example of true Discipleship.
