Our Lady of Sorrows Devotion and Music...

This Friday is a great Feast of Our Lady of sorrows - also known as Our Lady of Compassion - the Friday before Good Friday.

I was wanting to find out some more interesting things about Our Lady of Sorrows devotion. How about musical? 

I came across a site about songs and Our Lady of Sorrows - so you may want to read more about that go here: http://www.traditionalcatholicliving.com/good-friday-mary/

This one has a haunting sound to me: https://soundcloud.com/traditionalcatholicliving/our-lady-of-sorrows?utm_source=www.traditionalcatholicliving.com&utm_campaign=wtshare&utm_medium=widget&utm_content=https%253A%252F%252Fsoundcloud.com%252Ftraditionalcatholicliving%252Four-lady-of-sorrows   

So, continuing with the music theme - I came across some intersting links on YouTube that are Our Lady of Sorrows tunes or like that:

1. Singing Nuns - Our Lady of Sorrows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w11-syIAonE    

2. Benedictines of Mary - Our Lady of Sorrows; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJgj4X1HH18  

3. Mozart Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AT0fv-lFnA  

4. Andrea Bocelli - Ave Maria and pictures of Our Ladys of Sorrows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVLNE5rEDaE  

5. Sabtat Mater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbej1UO2mf8 and more professional version (strings): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzOmPUu-F_M   

I guess one reason I wanted to explore music is because I use to sing in a choir and I just love the songs for Holy week and such - so this is why I wanted to connect music with Our Lady of Sorrows.

So, what are the 7 Sorrows of Our Lady? 

THE FIRST SORROW - The Prophecy of Simeon...

THE SECOND SORROW - The Flight Into Egypt...

THE THIRD SORROW - The Loss of the Child Jesus in Jerusalem...

Graces for doing this devotion:

The Blessed Mary promises the following amazing graces granted by her Divine Son for all those who daily pray Hail Mary’s while meditating on each of her seven dolors (sorrows) and tears.

1. I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries.
3. I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.
4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother.
7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
