A common depiction of Mary's Immaculate Heart depicts it pierced by seven swords, signifying the sorrows she went through with and beside her Son. Mary entered her Son's anguish in a way that only a mother can, and she gave her permission to His agony and death in total obedience to God and His plan.
Major Feast: The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows - September 15 Celebration Ideas: Consider meditating on Luke 2:34–35, where Simeon foretold the sorrows Mary would experience, or pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary.
