This chaplet, also called the Servite Rosary, honors the seven sorrows that pierced the heart of Our Lady. We keep her company in her suffering and unite it to the Passion of her Son.
How to Pray the Chaplet
For each of the seven sorrows, meditate on it and pray one Our Father and seven Hail Marys:
1. The Prophecy of Simeon.
2. The Flight into Egypt.
3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple.
4. The Meeting of Mary and Jesus on the Way to Calvary.
5. The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus.
6. Mary Receives the Body of Jesus.
7. The Burial of Jesus.
Conclude with three Hail Marys in honor of the tears of Our Lady.
