PROMISES
St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) reported that
Our Lady promised to grant seven graces to those
who honor her and draw near to her and her Son
every day by meditating on her dolors (sorrows):
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 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
