The Seven Sorrows & The Reign

 Devotion of the Month

  1. The Prophecy of Simeon
  2. Flight into Egypt
  3. Seeking Jesus Lost in Jerusalem
  4. Meeting Jesus on the Way to Calvary
  5. Standing Near the Foot of the Cross of Her Son
  6. Receiving the Body of Jesus Taken Down from the Cross
  7. Placing the Body of Jesus in the Tomb

In the end, the victory will always be on the side of the children of Mary, for she will crush his head, where his pride dwells. Satan will continue to lay his snares against her heel; that is, against Mary's humble and poor slaves, whom she will raise up to make war against him. These children of Mary will be poor in worldly esteem; they will be humbled and abased. Like the heel, they will be trodden underfoot and persecuted. But in return for all this, Mary shall make them rich in grace before God. They shall be superior to other creatures in sanctity and in zeal for God's cause, which is Mary's cause. With the humility of her heel, in union with Mary, they shall crush the proud head of the devil and make the cause of Jesus Christ to triumph over all.
