The Devotion of ... Our Lady of Seven Sorrows
~ ~ ~
The devotion to the Dolors (Sorrows) of Maria is as old as Holy Church: it had its birth on the day of the Passion at the foot of the cross, when our Lord gave us His Mother to be our Mother also. She to whom He bade us turn our eyes, when in the person of Saint John He said to us ...
" 'Behold thy Mother' ... Saint Maria ... in her Immaculate Conception, in her Annunciation, or her Assumption, and Maria plunged in sorrow and bathed in tears, the Mother of Sorrows ... is our Mother also. Thus we see that among the manifestations of Christian piety towards the most holy Mother of God, compassion for her Sorrows is one of the most ancient; and among the oldest archaeological remains it is by no means rare to find her image at the foot of the cross beside that of the crucified Savior."
 Like all the devotions of Holy Church, that to the Sorrows of Maria developed by degrees and took a more precise and definite form. In the middle ages it had become extremely popular; and we may venture to say that there was no Cathedral or principal Church wherein was not exposed for the veneration of the faithful the image or statue of Maria at the foot of the cross, or holding the dead body of Jesus on her knees.
The same was often found in even the humblest village churches. But in order that this worship might be still more extended, God willed that there should be in His Church an Order especially set apart for its propagation, and in the persons of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order, of St. Philip Benizi and their successors, He raised up indefatigable apostles to travel through Italy and the whole of Europe, preaching everywhere compassion for the sufferings of Jesus crucified and of Maria desolate, as well as hatred for sin, the accursed cause of these sufferings.
Note: There are no Catholic Orders in these times since the Vatican-2 heretic cult has taken over our formerly Catholic properties. At the close of the "Vatican-2 council" on 8 December 1965 ... all persons and properties which subscribed to the heretical "Vatican-2 council" and the to the now non-Catholic Vatican ... ceased being Catholic.
We designate them now by the names of Saints Bonfil, Bunajunt, Amideus, Manettus, or Manette, Sostene, Hugh and Alexis. Members of a pious Confraternity of the most holy Virgin, they were engaged in reciting her office on the 15th of August, the feast of her Assumption, in the year 1233, when Maria appeared to them in the glory of her triumph, and exhorted them to leave the world, in order to dedicate themselves under her auspices to the service of God.
They renounced their riches and their families without delay, and retiring to a hermitage near their native town of Florence, lived a life of prayer and penance. God was soon pleased to manifest by a wondrous miracle how pleasing to Maria were these holy men. In the following month of January, when two of them were traversing the streets of Florence and asking alms, infants still unweaned cried: "Behold the Servants of Maria; give alms to the Servants of Maria." Among these infants was St. Philip Benizi, who was to become one of the most glorious in the Order of Servites. Owing to the crowds drawn to them by this miracle, the Seven Holy Founders were obliged to seek a more secluded retreat, and chose Mount Senario, a wild and desert spot about nine miles North of Florence.
 There, after six years passed in extreme austerities, Maria showed them, by many miracles, the design she had in calling them out of the world. First of all, in the month of March 1240, a time of the year in which the mountain is still covered with frost, a young vine, which they had planted in the previous year, grew miraculously during the night, and was clothed at once with foliage, flower, and fruit, symbol of the speedy increase of their little company, it was revealed at the same time to the Bishop of Florence, Ardingo Trotti.
Shortly afterwards, on Good Friday of the same year, after having meditated and wept all day over the sufferings of Jesus and the Sorrows of His Most Holy Mother, the Holy Founders were gathered together at eventide in their little oratory, when our Lady of Sorrows appeared to them, gentle and majestic in aspect, her eyes streaming with tears, in black garments, and covered with a long mourning robe. She bore in her hands habits of like color and form. Around her was a numerous choir of angels and heavenly spirits. One of these bore a kind of label, on which, in letters as of gold, glowed the words "Servi Mariae" (Servants of Maria), another held an open book, whereon were inscribed the first words of the Rule of Saint Augustine, while a third gently waved a magnificent palm, emblem of victory.
Looking upon them with love, while she slowly drew near, she signed to them to approach and take the habits which she delivered to them, saying in gentle tones: "It is I, my beloved, I upon whom you have so often called. I have chosen you out of the world, in order that you may be my Servants, and under that name work in the vineyard of my Son, producing fruits of salvation in abundance. Look upon the habit wherewith I am clothed; symbol of mourning and sadness, it indicates the profound grief which filled my soul at the death of my only Son. Take this mourning habit," and as she said this, she gave to them the garments which she held in her hands, "this habit like unto mine, and, in memory of the extreme dolor which I suffered, when I witnessed the cruel death of my dear Son, wear it through life and until the hour of your death, spreading everywhere the memory of my dolors and of the Passion of my Jesus."
Then she gave them the Rule of Saint Augustine, and commanded them to observe it diligently, as also to keep always the name of Servants of Maria, promising as their reward the palm of eternal life. Thus having spoken, she vanished from the eyes of the Seven Founders, leaving their hearts filled with pity, gratitude and sweet consolation.
Such is the origin of the black scapular of our Lady of Sorrows, such its touching significance. It recalls to us the profound grief of the Most Holy Virgin, and associates us with it, in making us wear with her a garb of mourning.

An Act of Contrition
Oh my most loving Savior, behold me before Thy Divine presence, full of confusion for the many offences I have committed against Thee. I repent of them from my whole heart, and detest them above all evils, because they offend Thine infinite goodness; and I firmly purpose to wash my soul in the Sacrament of Penance, and never to offend Thee again. Forgive me, my crucified Savior, in Thine infinite mercy. And thou, most tender Virgin, Refuge of Sinners, do thou, by thy bitter pains, obtain for me the pardon of all my sins, and grace never to crucify thy Son again.
Come, Oh Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
Let us pray.
I. The First Sorrow of our Blessed Lady was when, having presented Jesus, her Divine Son, in the Temple, she heard the words of holy Simeon, "Thy own soul a sword shall pierce;" by which he foretold the Passion and Death of her Son Jesus.
