Our Next Event
Our Lady of Sorrows, Sunday 13th September

Our Lady's tears speak so powerfully of the love that Our Lady has for us Her children. She is one with us in our sorrows. She weeps at our moral failures and our sins.

Our Lady weeps for the sins of humanity. In this devotion we aim to console Our Lady by contemplating Her sorrows with love and gratitude. Contemplating Her sorrows has the power to transform our lives. We will see this with the promises She gave to St Bridged of Sweden. We see evidence of the power of this devotion in that all seven of the founding Fathers of the Servite Order, dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows are all canonised Saints. This is the only time this has ever happened in the entire history of the Church, and it underlines the power of devotionto Our Mother of Sorrows.

This is a devotion that we highly recommend. Please do not miss this wonderful opportunity to discover just what you have to do to obtain the promises below. We will give out free cards detailing the meditations needed as you recite just 7 Hail Mary’s with the intention of consoling the Heart of Mary.

There are two more reasons why you really should make a big effort to come and to bring others. God is really pleased when we gather for prayer and He bestows so many more graces and blessings than if we simply practice devotion on our own, and you will discover so much more about this powerful devotion.

Also for this day only we will have for public and personal veneration, a Holy Relic of the True Cross. This Feast day follows so closely the Feast of the True Cross On the Church’s calendar. Come and experience this great blessing.

In preparing for this great Feast and Celebration, the seven beautiful promises Our Most Blessed Mother gave to Saint Bridget of Sweden for those who meditate on Her Seven Sorrows and recite a Hail Mary for each of them:

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 sorrows, 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.

Please do encourage others to come and receive the extraordinary 7 promises above, gain blessings for yourself and your family, and enjoy a most beautiful afternoon of prayer and Holy Mass.
