Fr. Ripperger: The Seven Sorrows of Mary & Their Powerful Promises

About this sermon

Fr. Chad Ripperger presents a profound theological meditation on the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the graces traditionally associated with this devotion and the extraordinary suffering Mary endured in union with Jesus Christ. The lecture begins with promises attributed to Our Lady through St. Bridget of Sweden. Those who faithfully meditate upon Mary’s sorrows while praying seven Hail Marys are promised assistance for their families, consolation in suffering, spiritual protection, help at death and deeper understanding of divine mysteries. Fr. Ripperger also discusses promises associated with revelations to St. Elizabeth of Hungary and recorded by St. Alphonsus Liguori, including repentance, protection in tribulation, remembrance of Christ’s Passion and special care from the Blessed Mother. Why did Mary suffer more intensely than any other human being? Because she was sinless, perfectly virtuous and possessed a physical and emotional sensitivity undulled by sin. Her perfect love for Christ made every wound He suffered a wound within her own Immaculate Heart. The lecture then meditates upon the Seven Sorrows: 1. The Prophecy of Simeon 2. The Flight into Egypt 3. The Loss of Jesus in the Temple 4. Meeting Jesus on the Way to Calvary 5. The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus 6. Jesus Taken Down From the Cross 7. The Burial of Jesus Fr. Ripperger also examines Mary’s virtues at Calvary, her theological role as the New Eve and the completion of Christ’s sacrifice. If you are wounded or suffering because of your own sins or the sins of others, go to Our Lady. She understands suffering and knows how to console those who invoke her.
