THE SEVEN (7) SORROWS OF MARY
The month of September is dedicated to the Our Lady of Sorrows. The 7 Sorrows of The Blessed Virgin Mary, which are all based on the scripture, remind us of the role of Mary in the salvation history.
Though the practice of praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary dates back to the thirteenth century, there has been a resurgence of this devotion due to the apparition of Our Lady of Kibeho that took place in the 1980โs in Rwanda. It was there that Our Lady urged people to pray the Seven Sorrows.
