Its also worth noting that Our Lady of Kibeho (Vatican approved Apparition in Rwanda that in the early 1980s foretold the genocide there in the 1990s) strongly recommended the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows. A friend gave me one of these Rosaries (it has seven decades of seven beads each) this weekend that she got at a talk by Immaculee Ilibagiza.
Have you read Immaculee’s book “Our Lady of Kibeho?” Fascinating book.
Not that “Left to Tell” isn’t fascinating also.
I will be reading her third book soon.
I have several rosaries of the Seven Sorrows that belonged to my husband’s aunt and grandmother. They date back probably to the 1920s, which is how long the family had been in that house. Good German and Irish Catholics, 1st generation.
