Our Lady made 5 promises to Marie-Claire Mukangango in Kibeho, Rwanda to those who pray her Rosary of the Seven Sorrows
Below is a shortened version of the rosary, as the Virgin Mary herself taught Marie-Claire in Kibeho. It can be prayed aloud or meditated on silently, alone or with others; the key is that the prayers, reflections, and meditations come from the depths of your heart. It is important that, at each mystery of sorrow, you take a moment to meditate on the magnitude of Mary's suffering and the power of her love.
Rosary of the Seven Sorrows
Sign of the Cross: In the name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen.
Introductory Prayer: My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer. Amen.
Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
