Subject: RE: seven dolours of Mary
these are not the same sorrows as given in the Catholic Encylopedia (thanks for the link, George)
"seven dolours of Mary (according to the responsories of Matins:
the sorrow
- at the prophecy of Simeon;
- at the flight into Egypt;
- having lost the Holy Child at Jerusalem;
- meeting Jesus on his way to Calvary;
- standing at the foot of the Cross;
- Jesus being taken from the Cross;
- at the burial of Christ."
