Party and devotion

Link to the Rosary
La devoción a los Dolores de María se ha rezado tradicionalmente con el Rosario de los Siete Dolores, hermano del Rosario común. Contemplar el dolor compartido de la Madre conduce, en el misterio del Rosario, al Hijo crucificado y resucitado. Rezar el Rosario junto a la Dolorosa es aprender de ella a permanecer firme en la fe.
