The Seven Sorrows of Mary
The feast day of the Seven Sorrows is traditionally either the Friday of Passion Week, which
is the Friday before Good Friday, or more generally on September 15, the official date for
the feast.
The purpose of the Devotion of the Seven Sorrows is to promote union with the sufferings of
Christ through union with the special suffering that Our Lady endured because she was the
Mother of God. By uniting ourselves with both the Passion of Christ and His holy Mother,
we enter into Jesus’ Heart and honor Him greatly; He is more honored because we have so
honored His Mother.
