The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows 
The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows consists of 7 groups of 7 beads, with 3 additional beads and a Crucifix. Say each of the sorrow below followed by 7 Hail Mary's. The 7 groups of 7 Hail Mary's are recited in remembrance of the 7 Sorrows of Mary:


1. The prophecy of Simeon.

2. The flight into Egypt.

3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple

.4. Mary meets Jesus carrying His cross.

5. The Crucifixion

6. Mary received the Body of Jesus from the cross

7. The Body of Jesus is placed in a tomb.


3 Hail Mary's are added in remembrance of the tears Mary shed because of the suffering of her Divine Son. These are said to obtain true sorrow for our sins.

The concluding prayer follows:


V/. Pray for us, O most sorrowful Virgin.

R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.


Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, we now implore, both for the present and for the hour of our death, the intercession of the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Thy Mother, whose holy soul was pierced at the time of Thy passion by a sword of grief. Grant us this favor, O Saviour of the world, Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost , forever and ever. Amen.

  2. I think you can purchase them on line. Just google it and you should find something. Barring that, I use the Franciscan Crown Rosary and start at bead #4 on each decade. That works as well!
