Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Our Lady of Sorrows) - free information
Why this devotion? The purpose of the Devotion of the Seven Sorrows is to promote union with the sufferings of Christ, through union with the special suffering that Our Lady endured because she was the Mother of God. By uniting ourselves with both the Passion of Christ and His holy Mother, we enter into Jesus’ Heart and honor Him greatly. He is more honored because we have so honored His Mother.

According to Saint Alphonsus de Liguori (The Glories of Mary) it was revealed
to Saint Elizabeth that at the request of Our Lady, Our Lord promised four
principal graces to those devoted to Her Sorrows:
1. That those who before death invoke the divine Mother in the name of
Her Sorrows will obtain true repentance of all their sins;
2. That He will protect all who have this devotion in their tribulations,
and will protect them especially at the hour of death;
3. That He will impress on their minds the remembrance of His Passion;
4. That He will place such devout servants in Mother Mary’s hands to
do with them as She wishes and to obtain for them all the graces She
desires.
In addition to these four graces there are also seven promises attached
to the practice of daily praying seven Hail Mary’s while meditating on Our
Lady’s Tears and Sorrows. These seven promises were revealed to St. Bridget
of Sweden:
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 will be their eternal consolation and joy.”

And Jesus Christ himself revealed to the blessed Veronica Binasco, that he takes more pleasure, as it were, in seeing his mother compassionated than himself; for thus he addressed her: "My daughter, the tears shed for my passion are dear to me; but loving with so great love my mother Mary, the meditation of the dolors which she suffered at my death is more dear to me." (St. Alphonsus Liguori - The Glories Of Mary)
