In a devotion passed on by St. Bridget of Sweden, the Blessed Virgin Mary promised to grant seven graces to those who console her by daily meditation on the seven sorrows of her life.  Pray one Hail Mary (at least) after meditating on each Sorrow.

THE SEVEN SORROWS

1. The prophecy of Simeon, "Thy own soul a sword shall pierce."
2. The flight into Egypt, a 30-day journey, in the winter.
3. The loss of the child Jesus for three days in Jerusalem.
4. The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.
5. The Crucifixion and death of Jesus on the Cross.
6. The piercing of the side of Jesus and taking Him down from the Cross.
7. The burial of Jesus in the tomb.
