Graces granted by Our Lady
The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the
souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on
her tears and dolors (sorrows). This devotion was revealed to Saint
Bridget.
1 I will grant peace to their
families.
2 They will be enlightened about the
divine mysteries.
3 I will console them in their pains
and I will accompany them in their work.
4 I will give them as much as they
ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son
or the sanctification of their souls.
5 I will defend them in their
spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at
every instant of their lives.
6 I will visibly help them at the
moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.
7 I have obtained from my divine Son,
that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be
taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all
their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal
consolation and joy.
Sister
Amalia
Sister Amalia Aguirre (1901- 1977)
Born in Rios, Spain. After 1920 entered in the Association of Missionaries to
of Jesus Crucified in Brazil, then Monsignor Count Francisco de Campos
Barreto founded the Congregation where Sister Amalia took part.
On the 8th of November 1828,
she was visited by a sick relative whose wife was about to die. Being
very concerned for her and for her children who would become orphans,
she prostrated herself in prayer before the Lord and offered herself as
a victim for her healing.
Sister Amalia suffered the
stigmata, (the wounds of Christ)
Prostrated before the Blessed Sacrament, she asked the Lord: What do you
want me to do?
Jesús responded:
if you wish to receive this grace, ask me through the tears of my
Mother.
She asked: And how must I
pray?
Jesús replied with
these invocations: Oh Jesus,
look upon the tears of her
who loved You most on earth and loves You most ardently in Heaven.
After these affirmations, Jesus saud to Sister
Amalia: My daughter. Anything that anyone asks me through
the tears of my Mother, I will grant it with much love. Later on, my Mother will
give your this treasure for our beloved Institute (her congregation) as a magnet
of Mercy.
Four months after the Apparition of Jesus, on the
8th of March 1930, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Amalia when she
was praying before the Blessed Sacrament. She said: "This is the Rosary of my
Tears, that was promised by my Son to our beloved Institute as part of its
legacy. He already gave you the prayers. My son wants to honor me especially
with those invocations, furthermore, He will grant all favors asked through the
merits of my Tears. This rosary will obtain the conversion of many sinners,
especially those possessed by the devil. A special grace is reserved to the
Institute of Jesus Crucified, mainly for the conversion of several member of a
distant part of the Church. By means of this Rosary, the devil will be defeated
and the power of Hell destroyed. Arm yourselves for the Great Battle."
Then She said: Daughter, I will speak
about the Rosary that I bring in my hands. Call it the "Crown of Tears"
When you come to my feet, seeing in my
hands this Crown, remember that it means Mercy, Love and Pain!
I am the Mother of the Divine Mercy!
I cry before my Son the sins of all men and I am always interceding
before the Throne of the Most High for the poor sinners.
When a sinner is rebellious and does not
want to hear you, come to my feet and ask through my Blessed Tears. If
It is a soul of good will, you will reach from God the Grace for this
soul not to be lost.
My Crown of Tears must remind you also my
Great Love for sinners. Being Mother of all men and seeing many of them
getting lost, I cried for those who being hardened run the risk of
precipitating themselves into Hell.
Why did I give it the name of Crown?
Because my Tears were crowned by my Divine Son; they are Holy and many
generations will exalt them for the
benefits received by their intercession.
My Son crown them with so many privileges!
Jesus gave these precious pearls to this
Institute so that they make part of its patrimony, the Crown of my
Blessed Tears signifies that your Mother loves you.
Make use of all their privileges, come to
them with confidence and love.
Dear Sour, take advantage of these lessons and meditate the meaning of
Our Lady of Tears, I say it full of Love, I am the Mother of
Missionaries.
