Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother
Booklet | 80 pages | ISBN 978-0895557261 | TAN Books / The Benedictine Convent of Clyde

Although many Catholics today are unfamiliar with the depth of Mary’s sorrows, Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother brings these sacred mysteries into clearer light. Drawing on Sacred Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the writings of the saints, this pocket-sized devotional explains the seven sorrows of Mary, her role as the Sorrowing Mother, and the spiritual blessings available to those who meditate on her tears and dolors. 

Inside, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the four special favors promised to devotees of Mary’s sorrows 

• The Seven Promises given to those who meditate on her tears and sufferings 

• Time-honored prayers including the Stabat Mater, the Litany of the Sorrowful Mother, and seven prayers corresponding to each sorrow 

• Encouragement to grow in love for Mary and to seek her “special help … at the hour of our death” 

This devotional booklet is ideal for daily reflection, Marian novenas, parish distribution, or for anyone who desires to unite their sufferings with Mary’s compassion. The promise that “Mary leaves nothing unrewarded that is done in her honor” becomes a comforting truth as you walk closer with the Sorrowful Mother.
