The title "Our Lady of Sorrows" calls to mind the Seven Sorrows endured by Mary, the Mother of our Lord.
Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Dolours, the Sorrowful Mother or Mother of Sorrows, and Our Lady of Piety, Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows or Our Lady of the Seven Dolours are names by which the Virgin Mary is referred to in relation to sorrows in her life. As Mater Dolorosa, it is also akey subject for Marian art in the Catholic Church.
The Seven Sorrows of Mary are a popular Roman Catholic Devotion. In common religious Catholic imagery, the Virgin Mary is portrayed in a sorrowful and lacrimating affect, with one or seven long knives or daggers piercing her heart, often bleeding. Devotional prayers that consist of meditation began to elaborate on her Seven Sorrows based on the prophecy of Simeon. Common examples of piety under this title are Servite rosary, or the Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady and the Seven Joys of Mary and more recently, "Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary".
The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is liturgically celebrated every 15 September, while a feast of Friday of Sorrows is observed in some Catholic countries.
The Seven Sorrows (or Dolours) are events in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary that are a popular devotion and are frequently depicted in art.
These Seven Sorrows should not be confused with the five Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.
1. The prophecy of Simeon. (Luke 2:34–35)
2. The flight into Egypt. (Matthew 2:13-23)
3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem.(Luke 2:43–45)
4. Mary's meeting Jesus on the Via Dolorosa. (not in the New Testament)
5. The Crucifixion of Jesus on Mount Calvary. (Matthew 27:34–50, Mark 15:23–37, Luke 23:33–46, John 19:18–30)
6. The Piercing of the Side of Jesus with a spear, and his descent from the Cross. (John 19:34)
7. The burial of Jesus by Joseph of Arimathea. (Matthew 27:57–61, Mark 15:43–47, Luke 23:50–53, John 19:40–42)
It is a common practice for Catholics to say daily one Our Father and seven Hail Marys for each mystery.
