September: Month of Our Lady of Sorrows 

The month of September is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, whose memorial falls on September 15.  Christ’s victory over death, The Feast of the Triumph of the Cross, is celebrated the day before on September 14^th. And so, on the 15^th we commemorate the sufferings of Mary as she stood at the foot of the Cross, sorrowful witness to the suffering and death of her dearly beloved Son. In those moments as she stood beneath the cross, Simeon’s prophecy in the temple came to its ultimate reality: “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also)… (Luke 2: 34-35). 

September is a good time to add the Chaplet (or Rosary) of the Seven Sorrows (of Mary) to a prayer routine. This Chaplet was first introduced during the Middle Ages, but it has received new attention following the Marian apparitions reported in Kibeho, Rwanda in the 1980s, in which Our Blessed Mother asked that the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows be prayed every Tuesday and Friday. The Seven Sorrows in the Chaplet are:
 
The First Sorrow: The Prophecy of Simeon. Mary and Joseph presented the infant Jesus in the temple, and Simeon predicted that a sword would also pierce Mary's soul.
 
The Second Sorrow: The flight into Egypt. After King Herod ordered the death of all male children age two or younger, Joseph fled to Egypt with Mary and the infant Jesus.
 
The Third Sorrow: The Child Jesus Lost in the Temple. Mary and Joseph spent three agonizing days searching for the Child Jesus in Jerusalem, and at last found him in the Temple.
 
The Fourth Sorrow: Mary met Jesus carrying the cross. As Jesus, condemned to crucifixion, made His way to Calvary, He met His mother, Mary. Her sorrow was absolute as she saw him bruised and bloodied, carrying the heavy cross to the site of his execution.
 
The Fifth Sorrow: Mary at the foot of the cross. Mary stood near her crucified and dying Son, helpless to aid Him as he cried out "I thirst." In his last words, "Behold your mother," Jesus directed us to look on Mary as our mother. 

The Sixth Sorrow: Mary received the body of Jesus. Jesus was taken down from the cross and His body was placed in Mary's arms. The passion and death were over, but for Mary, his mother, the grief continued as she held His lifeless body in her arms.
 
The Seventh Sorrow: Mary witnessed the burial of Jesus. The body of Jesus was laid in the tomb and the most tragic day in history ended, leaving Mary in sorrow, awaiting the Resurrection.
