"This child [Jesus] is destined to be the downfall and the rise of many in Israel, a sign that will be opposed and you yourself shall be pierced with a sword so that the thoughts of many hearts may be laid bare" (Luke 2:34-35). Since she was the mother of Jesus, who was not only her Son but also her Lord; Our Blessed Mother's sorrow exceeded anyone else's for she truly suffered with her Son.
 
The Seven Sorrows of our Blessed Mother included:
The prophecy of Simeon
The flight of the Holy Family into Egypt
The loss and finding of the child Jesus in the Temple
Mary's meeting of Jesus on His way to Calvary
Mary's standing at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified
Her holding of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross
Our Lord's burial.
