Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother
It's truly special! I've had my booklet for at least 20 years. It went to Italy and the UK with me. I had no idea how much Our Lady suffered for us before reading this.

Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother
As a gift to Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary for her birthday, I purchased 100 copies of this booklet that I have prayed for many years. I plan to distribute them for the Memorial of the Sorrowful Mother. But what I realized is that what I have done, over the years, is to memorize scriptural passages for each of the Seven Sorrows. I recite these to myself before reading the passage that acompanies each image. It started when I prayed this devotion with my Bible. This practice greatly enhances the meaningfullness of this devotion. I mention this because I believe that the time has come to revise this booklet to include the bible passages. I even noticed that the actual devotion does not even begin until two pages after the center staples of the booklet. This caused me to place one of those tiny colored arrows in each booklet to show where the devotion begins. The Fathers of Vatican II wanted all the faithful to grow closer to the Lord through Sacred Scripture. This ancient devotion, so very worthy of attention, would be brought up- to-date and TAN Books would be "thinking with the Church" were such a revision to be undertaken. It really is quite rewarding to memorize whole passages of Sacred Scripture while meditating on Our Blessed Mother's suffering. To conclude with a little story: Because I knew the entire Bible passage about the Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple, I was able to recite it to a youth one day to show that just because there is misunderstanding in a family that that is not indicative if sinfullness - as it happened in the all Holy Family. That revelation earned me a smile! Thank you very much.

Thorough treatment
I especially enjoyed the prayers, novenas and insights of the Saints for this devotion. Our blessed Mother walks with each of us in our own sorrows, but reminds us of the joy that her Son promises.
