The “Seven Sorrows Of Mary Rosary” invites the faithful to meditate deeply on the seven moments of intense sorrow that pierced the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout her life. This ancient devotion, also known as the Rosary of the Seven Dolors, calls us to accompany Our Lady through her greatest sufferings as the Mother of our Savior. Each of the seven sorrows is rooted in Scripture and represents a “sword” that pierced Mary’s heart.
Opening Prayer: My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer. Amen.
Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

The “Chaplet of St. Therese” (“The Little Flower Rosary”) is a prayer devotion honoring St. Therese de Lisieux, also known as “The Little Flower,” a French Carmelite nun who lived from 1873 to 1897. St. Therese is known for her simple, practical approach to spiritual life, which she called the “Little Way.”
The chaplet consists of 24 beads representing St. Therese’s 24 years of life. On each bead, the “Glory Be” prayer is said to thank the Holy Trinity for St. Therese’s life and example. The chaplet concludes with a prayer asking for St. Therese’s intercession, often requesting a “rose” as a sign of her heavenly assistance.

I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; she will strike at your head, while you strike at her heel.”
