Your Sorrow Is My Sorrow – Joyce Rupp, OSM

Your Sorrow is My Sorrow

Brief History
The image of Mary at the foot of the cross has long been an inspiration to people who want to be closer to Jesus. In order to increase devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows, the Order Servants of Mary has established societies known as confraternities. The Servite confraternity’s roots reach back to the first century of the Order’s existence when groups of the faithful were living near the first communities of Friar Servants of Mary. Wanting to share the Order’s spirit, they formed various types of Marian associations. Pope Innocent X officially designated the Confraternity of Our Lady of Sorrows in 1645.

Purpose
The purpose of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Sorrows is to foster devotion to the passion of Christ and the sorrows of Mary, Mother of the Lord. The members of the Confraternity strive to develop the virtue of compassion so that they might be with their suffering brothers and sisters through prayer and works of mercy.

Spiritual Growth and Enrichment
Membership provides an opportunity to deepen one’s spiritual life and devotion to Mary in her sorrows. Members are encouraged to unite with Mary in prayer and reflect on the Seven Sorrows, fostering a closer relationship with Christ and spiritual maturity.

Shared Prayers and Support
Members gain a share in the prayers and spiritual works of the global Servite Family, including friars, nuns, sisters, Secular Order and other Confraternity members. This creates a sense of unity and spiritual support, connecting individuals through a shared mission.

Engagement in Works of Mercy
The Confraternity encourages members to participate in works of mercy, especially toward those suffering in body or spirit. This focus on compassion allows members to put their faith into action by serving others.

Access to Devotional Resources and Materials
Members receive tangible items that support their devotion, including a black scapular, a membership certificate, a prayer card, and a copy of the Novena in Honor of Our Sorrowful Mother. Additionally, Servite newsletters and magazines provide updates and spiritual encouragement.

Legacy of Membership and Recognition
Enrollment in the official Register of the Servite Confraternity signifies a commitment to the Confraternity’s mission and creates a lasting connection to this centuries-old spiritual community. Members can take pride in being part of a historical and global tradition of Marian devotion.

Breve Historia
La imagen de María al pie de la cruz ha sido durante mucho tiempo una inspiración para quienes desean acercarse más a Jesús. Para aumentar la devoción a Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, la Orden de los Siervos de María estableció sociedades conocidas como cofradías. Las raíces de la Cofradía Servita se remontan al primer siglo de la existencia de la Orden, cuando grupos de fieles vivían cerca de las primeras comunidades de los Frailes Siervos de María. Deseando compartir el espíritu de la Orden, formaron diversos tipos de asociaciones marianas. El Papa Inocencio X designó oficialmente a la Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores en 1645.

Propósito
El propósito de la Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores es fomentar la devoción a la pasión de Cristo y a los dolores de María , Madre del Señor. Los miembros de la Cofradía se esfuerzan por desarrollar la virtud de la compasión para estar presentes con sus hermanos y hermanas que sufren a través de la oración y las obras de misericordia.  

Crecimiento Espiritual y Enriquecimiento
Ser miembro ofrece la oportunidad de profundizar en su vida espiritual y en su devoción a María en sus dolores. Se anima a los miembros a unirse a María en la oración y reflexionar sobre los Siete Dolores, promoviendo una relación más cercana con Cristo y una madurez espiritual.  

Oraciones y Apoyo Compartidos
Los miembros participan en las oraciones y las obras espirituales de la Familia Servita global,  incluyendo a los frailes, las monjas, las hermanas consagradas, la Orden Seglar y demás miembros de la Cofradía. Esto crea un sentido de unidad y un apoyo espiritual, uniendo a todos a través de una misión compartida.

Participación en Obras de Misericordia
La Cofradía anima a sus miembros a participar en obras de misericordia, especialmente hacia aquellos que sufren en cuerpo o espíritu. Este enfoque sobre la compasión permite que los miembros pongan en práctica su fe al servir a los demás.

Acceso a Recursos y Materiales Devocionales
Los miembros reciben artículos tangibles que apoyan su devoción, incluidos un escapulario negro, un certificado de membresía, una tarjeta de oración y una copia de la Novena en Honor a Nuestra Madre Dolorosa. Además, boletines y revistas Servitas que brindan actualizaciones y estímulo espiritual. 

Legado de Membresía y Reconocimiento
La inscripción en el Registro oficial de la Cofradía Servita significa un compromiso con la misión de la Cofradía y crea una conexión duradera con esta comunidad espiritual de siglos de antigüedad. Los miembros pueden sentirse orgullosos de formar parte de una tradición histórica y global de devoción mariana.
