The Seven Sorrows

Message from Blessed Virgin Mary given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

From Our Lady

1. The Prophecy of Simeon.

"If I had allowed the knowledge of Simeon's prophecy to pierce My Heart over and over, I would have re-lived Jesus' passion over and over. I prayed for the grace to be at peace in the present moment."

2. The Flight into Egypt

"Though this was a hardship, our flight from Herod portrays God's provision amidst adversity."

3. Losing the Child Jesus in the Temple

"When you seek My Son, you too will find Him in the temple of your heart."

4. The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.

"I embraced Him in My Heart as I saw Him suffering under the weight of the cross. You too must embrace Him in your hearts in the Blessed Sacrament. Do not leave His Love unattended."

5. The Crucifixion

"As I watched My Beloved Son draw His last breaths, I prayed He would persevere to the end. You must pray for the grace of final perseverance."

6. The Taking Down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross

"I sorrowed that more would not benefit from His death. I sorrowed for those who would not turn away from sin. I continue to sorrow for this."

7. The Burial of Jesus

"I dressed His wounds. I arranged His Hands. I grieved. I gave Him to the world and the world rejected Him. Pray for those who still reject Him."
