A Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady is a guided journey with Fr. Frederick Faber in his own words. The reader walks step by step, prayer by prayer beside the Blessed Virgin Mary through each of her Sorrows as the Mother of God. This text-based rosary comes alive through excerpts taken directly from Fr. Faber's 400-plus page treatise, The Foot of the Cross, The Sorrows of Mary, written in the 1850s. Fr. Faber was the English theologian who translated St. Louis de Montfort's, True Devotion to Mary into English. If you desire to deepen your relationship with the sorrowful Mother, this collection of pearls from Fr. Faber's mystical teaching is a good start. Now with the Daily Meditation to honor Our Sorrowful Mother as she requested.

Excerpt from The Foot of the Cross: Or the Sorrows of Mary This Treatise was sketched for the first time at St. Wilfrid's in the summer of 1847, more than ten years ago. It has however been several times revised, and more than once entirely recast. It was not however finally settled in its present shape until the spring of 1855; for not till then was the Author satisfied with the consistency of our Lady's position throughout, nor with its adaptation to the requirements of scholastic theology. The Author has had the completed Trea'tise by him for some time, as the stage of preparation, in which his materials were for a work on the Passion, rendered it necessary for him to ascertain, how much of that ground would be occupied by the Dolours, and in what manner; and it appeared better to compose the present Treatise and even finish it for the press, befbre advancing his book on the Passion into another stage of its preparations, in order that the ultimate harmony between the two might be the more complete. But, as the time was not come for the publication of the Dolours in its predeter mined place in the series of books which the Author has planned, it was laid by until its turn should arrive.
