Litany of the Seven Sorrows of Mary (Our Lady of Sorrows)

The "Litany of the Seven Sorrows of Mary" (text below) invites the faithful to meditate on Our Lady of Sorrows and her profound grief as the Mother of Jesus Christ. This centuries-old Catholic devotion, also known as the Litany of the Mater Dolorosa, remains relevant for modern believers seeking Mary's intercession, especially during Lent, September (the month of Our Lady of Sorrows), or personal moments of hardship.
