Through thirty carefully structured daily devotions, readers accompany the Blessed Virgin Mary through the Seven Sorrows: Simeon’s prophecy, the flight into Egypt, the loss of Jesus in the Temple, the meeting on the road to Calvary, Mary’s presence at the Cross, the receiving of Christ’s body and his burial.
Each day includes:
• Relevant Scripture passages
• A thoughtful Catholic meditation
• Practical guidance for everyday life
• Reflection and journaling questions
• A focused spiritual practice
• A personal prayer intention
• A concluding prayer
This devotional does not glorify suffering or offer easy explanations for pain. Instead, it presents Mary as a faithful disciple who remains close to Christ when the future is uncertain and the heart is wounded.
Additional resources include prayers for people experiencing grief, a Litany of Our Lady of Sorrows, a quick guide to praying the Seven Sorrows devotion, Scripture readings for difficult seasons and a concise glossary of Catholic terms.
Whether you are mourning a loved one, facing an unexpected change, supporting someone in pain or seeking a deeper Marian devotion, this book will help you carry sorrow honestly while keeping Jesus Christ at the centre.
