Summary

The Seven Sorrows of Mary are one of the most fruitful topics of mental prayer. On Fridays especially, the Seven Sorrows are a way to better contemplate the Divine Mercy of God. Here’s a video of me explaining how the Seven Sorrows relate to the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: If you can’t see this video in your RSS reader or email, then click here. If you don’t see the video in you, you can watch it here. And here’s the podcast version: It is a tradition for Catholics to say daily one Our Father and seven Hail Mary for each. The Prophecy of Simeon. (Luke 2:34-35) The Flight into Egypt. (Matthew 2:13) The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple. (Luke 2:43-45) Mary Meets Jesus on the Way to Calvary. (Luke 23:26) Jesus Dies on the Cross. (John 19:25) Mary Receives the Body of Jesus in Her Arms. (Matthew 27:57-59) The Body of Jesus is Placed in the Tomb. (John 19:40-42) The Seven Sorrows of Mary also correspond to the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: The Prophecy of Simeon – Fear of the Lord (Mary is explicitly reminded of her sorrowful vocation: “a sword shall pierced thy soul”) The Flight into Egypt – Piety (Mary fulfills her duties toward Joseph and Jesus in a foreign land) The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple – Knowledge (Mary’s knowledge of Christ’s identity as the Son of God) Mary Meets Jesus on the Way to Calvary – Fortitude (Mary’s strength in seeing Christ in His Passion) Jesus Dies on the Cross – Counsel (Mary is the spiritual guide and counselor for all who seek her crucified Son) Mary Receives the Body of Jesus in Her Arms – Understanding (As Mary holds the dead body of her Son, she perceives His coming resurrection) The Body of Jesus is Placed in the Tomb – Wisdom (Christ is hidden but Mary’s soul continues to see Christ and communicate with Him) Since Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, this should come as no surprise to us.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show episode 50 the seven sorrows of our lady and how they relate to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit now this is a mini podcast and we're doing more of these in the weeks to come. We're coming up on episode 52 which will be our one year anniversary and as we move into the second year I'm trying to think of new ways to spice up the podcast and one of the things I want to do is drop in occasional short audible
0:26.5	essays or mini podcasts.
0:29.5	Sometimes there's things that I think about that I think you know it'd be great to record something but it's not really a full show that's produced so these many
0:37.4	Podcasts or these essays will be much more raw they won be produced, you won't notice the usual
0:45.0	music or intakes, outtakes, bumpers, all that. It's just going to be basically me
0:51.3	riffing on a topic for anywhere from four to maybe eight minutes and of course
0:57.1	we'll still continue to have the full feature ones which are now anywhere from
1:00.5	30 minutes to 55 minutes.
1:03.0	But just, you know, if you see some of these shorter ones,
1:05.1	this is what it is, an audible essay or a mini podcast.
1:08.8	And now we'll go ahead with this.
1:10.3	Oh, I've also forgot, this episode is also in video format so if you go over to
1:15.1	YouTube you can watch this video with imagery and it's very beautiful I think
1:22.0	you like the video even better than the audio.
1:24.0	So go over to YouTube, check it out, my YouTube channel Taylor Marshall,
1:28.0	and please subscribe. Okay, here it is,
1:30.0	the seven sorrows of Our Lady and the seven
1:33.3	gifts of the Holy Spirit.
1:51.0	Howdy I'm really excited to share this interesting fact about the seven sorrows of our lady. Today is the Feast Day of the seven sorrows of our lady and if you meditate
1:54.2	upon these seven sorrows you'll see that they correspond to the seven gifts of the
1:59.4	Holy Spirit. So tonight we're going to go through the seven sorrows and then see how they map over these
2:06.2	seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Now this all happens of course because our lady is the
