My grandmother prayed the Rosary everyday. She suffered with being widow in poverty and with continuous physical illnesses for for forty years and then had a terrible death, essentially starved to death in the hospital but she always remained docile and loving always praying for others up until the last moment. When she was passing she saw the Blessed Mother and her human mother who died when she was a child… the last thing she said to my Aunt was, “it’s so beautiful I wish you could see!”.

[@gabesmokeymartatom]

She’s in Heaven with the Blessed Mother now. What a beautiful person your grandmother was. Life can sometimes seem so sad, but a woman like your grandmother offered her pain to God.

[@DojoGo]

Hi Gabriel, I want to share with you my rosary testimony. It's kind of long but if you want to talk about this more I'd be happy to go to Houston to go further (I'm in the DFW area) I grew up non-catholic. My mom was raised Catholic in the phillipines, but when she came to the United States at the age of 17 for college, she left her faith when she met my dad. My father was baptized lutheran, and growing up we lived more like non-denominational christians, but I would honestly say we acted like agnostics. Everything changed when my Uncle (who is Catholic) got rosaries blessed by St. Pope John Paul II. This was back in 2005. We placed them in our home, and the same week we all had convictions about becoming catholic. - I had a dream that we were all kneeling in a Church. I didn't understand what that meant because I had never knelt in a church before. My whole family was kneeling with me. - My brother had been dealing with a bunch of weird things going on at School, and was given a "random" thought that I should be sent into a Catholic school to avoid it. - My mother suddenly felt sorrow for her sins and wanted to become Catholic again - My father, who was reluctant at first, met the RCIA director who looked like, sounded like, and acted like his mother who had passed away. This woman drew him to the faith. When I first became catholic, I was on fire for the faith. Previously I had been sent to psychologists for anxiety disorders. I had awful nightmares of death and seeing people die. My mom tried to use a dream-catcher (this was before she reverted back to the faith) to try to "ward off" bad dreams, and it would work for a little bit, but then the dreams came back even more intense than before. When I received the sacraments, those dreams stopped. I was so enthusiastic about the Eucharist that even when I wasn't even fully initiated yet I asked to be an altar server. I altar served every Sunday for 3 masses. I even felt a calling to become a priest. However, as soon as I felt this calling, I got massive temptations to sin, particularly against chastity. One thing led to another, and I was massively addicted to p___graphy. This went on for several years, and I grew very cold in my faith. I started reasoning with sin, and making justifications for it. It got particularly bad in college, when I was introduced to evolution and started to have many doubts about the catholic faith. I was very luke-warm, and people had no idea. I went to mass weekly, went to confession occasionally, and hardly prayed unless I needed something. However, there was one thing that never left me: anxiety. I would have random bouts of anxiety and stress, sometimes to the point of tears and so much despair I wanted to end my life. I looked into eastern religion, got therapy, and even dabbled with occult practices like manifestation. This would work sometimes, but in the end it didn't last long. That was until one day I was so down that I begged God to show me how to relieve my anxiety. This time was different though, I asked God to show me how to get rid of it, not to simple take it away but to show me the way. In this moment of prayer in my room, I felt a motherly prescense tell me "pray the rosary". Immediately when I entertained that thought, I felt a swarm of dark emotions, telling me that "it's a waste of time" and "Don't bother, it won't work". At this point, these thoughts were so at conflict with one another it almost felt from outside of me and my intuition knew that it was the devil that was preventing me from saying it. So I said them anyway. I knew I had to pray the rosary to be healed, however, I honestly was bad at being disciplined. So I asked God to give me a sign to help me stay disciplined praying the rosary. A week later, my wife suddently tells me we are getting a dog (My confirmation saint is saint Dominic, you will know, this was not a coincidence). This dog we got came from a shelter, and also suffered massive anxiety and trust issues. That being said, the dog needed to be walked everyday, otherwise she would destroy pillows, make a mess, or not eat. So everyday around noon, I would take the dog, with a rosary in my hand, and pray the rosary. At first, it felt like I was literally pulling something out of my body. It was painful. It hurt to say the words. Until one day the negative voices just stopped. I knew though that this was only the first step towards getting better, so I asked God to keep me open to the next part of his plan. One day I was browsing through amazon to look up something, and in front of my face was a brown scapular. I just remembered that I had lost my brown scapular when I was 12, already had been enrolled and hadn't worn it in over 20 years. So I bought and when I put it on, I felt immediately ashamed. I started to remember all the sins of my past. All the times I took communion in the state of mortal sin. All the people I've misled by my bad behavior. Everything came to me at once. I was so saddened and ashamed that I was scared to go to confession for it. I asked God to give me strength, and went to daily mass. The readings put me to tears. It was the story of the prodigal son and after mass was over I scheduled a general confession with the priest at my parish. Ever since that day, my life has been changed by the Blessed Mother. She always looked out for me and I knew from the beginning she kept me safely in her hands, and led me to her son Jesus Christ. Thank you for all the work you do Gabriel, may God bless you and your ministry!

[@Antonia_D]

I agree. In my later years I came back to my baptized faith. I never understood Mary BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OPENED MY EYES. It was a flood of knowledge after that. Bible study after bible study about Mary flooded my life. It all maid sense. It makes good reasonable sense and good philosophical sense that Mary is exactly who she is.

@@SoyebAkhtar1918 and Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the Truth and the Life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.” Our Lady is not an idol; we don’t worship her. Rather we revere her as the first among saints.

[@MyMachineWorld1990]

Gaby, Our Lady keeps leading me in my prayers and every time she does, you drop a video to clarify what she was telling me. I’m literally crying right now. I just prayed the 7 sorrows rosary for the first time tonight because I kept hearing about it and then my priest gave it to me to do as penance for my confession… right after I finished it for the first time, your video pops up out of nowhere. This is not by accident. She uses you all the time to reach me. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

“She was like a deer that was struck with an arrow and it was never removed, and she carried the arrow in her heart everywhere she went” I feel that in my soul, how relatable was that part, although I know her grief is more than my own but I know she understands how wounded I am, how hurt I am. I love those quotes about our lady of sorrows

[@olmireles3883]

[@karenavis8678]

I saw a video you did on Our Lady of Sorrowers some time ago. That changed my spiritual life, especially as it related to the Sacrament of Penance. I am able to do a more honest self-reflection and even realized there were sins/transgressions I had not confessed in my young adult life (I am 56 years old). I'm trying harder than ever to avoid even the venial sins-- which prior to my devotion I was more lackadaisical about this. I pray for you, your family and your ministry every day because of the profound impact you've made in my life (and most certainly many others).

I agree. I began having a devotion to her 7 Sorrows when I couldn’t sleep at night from a broken heart. My marriage is under attack, as solo parenting 6of my 7kids preventing them from the damage , even more keeping our heads above the water as veteran hubby spirals even deeper in his disability and seeks divorce. My anxiety all time high, my eyes hurt from crying. OurLady made me feel intimate with her. Keep playing this devotion even while you sleep. I wake up feeling her close. I never knew her before, but this devotion showed me there’s so er more to this mystery and I’ve been able to surrender to Jesus more.

[@royhughes2854]

[@Big_Steve11]

The devotion to the 7 Sorrows of Our Lady has become the key devotional of my prayer life, especially since falling into depression, it's comforting to know that Our Lady is not a stranger to that sort of suffering

[@rahawa774]

I have long term depression too, and I also find being with Mary during her 7 sorrows to be very comforting. Such a powerful tool for when you are in low spirits and feeling alone 🙏

[@krakoosh1]

The devotion of your prayer life should be God only. God said, He will not share His glory with anyone

[@2girlsfur192]

​​@@krakoosh1Jesus also said that no one can love the Holy Mother more than He does. Don't let the conspiracy get you. He gave us His Pure Mother as our own Mother's and as our Advocate. And what do we do when praying to Her who is the Holy Mother Church? We beg her for any grace in order to know and love Jesus perfectly, which is to love God more. "No one can go to My Father without going through me," and the same no one can love Jesus properly without going through Mary our Mother. You cannot say you love Jesus without Horner His Holy mammy. "Hail Mary full of grace" means She is "full of God!" How can you not Love Her, she is full of God, she is like a mirror reflecting Holy Trinity!!

[@2girlsfur192]

A lot of us have depression nowadays. Glad you are on the road to heaven and already able to do mantle prayers. Just remember " in God, we are all being with you all the time! Doesn't matter how lonely you feel! We are with you no matter if you can feel it or not, for we are the Church Militant; all the Saints are with you, for their prayers and the shedding of the blood of the Marthers we are in the Church; all the Holy Souls in purgatory are with you praying for you, they can not pray for themselves, and for they love God so much they love us too. So to be a Catholic you never walk alone. Try to acknowledge Your poor Guardian Angel, for He is at your side, going through everything with you!! Which we do forget some times. God bless you my family, keep going and pray well.❤

[@krakoosh1]

@@2girlsfur192 no Jesus never said that. That is not in the Bible. The Bible says Jesus is the only advocate. Jesus also said we are not to call anyone on earth our spiritual father, so why would He command us to have a spiritual mother? There is but one God. Mary is a sinner just like every human ever born. She admits this herself in Luke. She calls God her savior. Only sinners need a savior. The Bible says she found favor from God, not she is holy. She is not a perpetual virgin either. The Bible is clear on that and Roman Catholic apologists even admit this without knowing it. Romans 3, there are none righteous, no not one. You don’t know the scriptures.

This video was an answered prayer. I was asking very recently the meaning of Our Lady of Sorrows and what it meant. When I prayed on a couple of days separately, something bad would happen in my case a discord between family/spouse and traumas coming up. A friend told me later on that it could be something that Our Lady needed me to pray for. It didn’t bring much encouragement. However this video brought a lot of enlightenment and meaning. I’m starting to understand. Pray for me as I uncover more and the spiritual power of this breathing prayer. Thank you so much for explaining in depth, Mother Mary knew I needed to hear the explanation through you as you were the person to have brought me back to my Catholic Faith! Can’t wait for part 2!

[@beautifulrose8619]

I have always suffered more when I truly love someone. My actions are to protect myself because I can't bear the pain. My uncle Oscar has always been a man who I love. He is old now, just turned 80. I won't visit him because I am afraid of making more good memories. I think when he dies, I will have more in my mind to suffer with. No one understands. I really don't know how to be braver and accept death and accept that those who I love most will die. I have three children and I know that I will probably die before them. I would not be able to even think about them going first. I will learn to pray the 7 sorrow Rosary. Mental pain is awful. It is invisible but very excrutiating.

My grandmother moved out today to live with an uncle and I feel so sad. She has never fully grieved from her 4 sons tragically passing ... And it effects her spiritual life tremendously.. it has all been weighing heavy on my heart. I gave up KZbin for Lent & this was the first video that I watched fully. I already had a devotion to Our Lady of the 7 Sorrows but stopped praying the rosary... I know our Mother wants me to grieve for my grandmother while I grieve with our Mother by doing the 7 sorrows again.

[@2bbossfree]

I think a mother never fully recovers from the death of a child. I feel for her so much to have lost four sons. I lost one son Vincent. he was 19 when he was murdered. I was very angry and hateful about his murderers and my son came to me in a dream and said that he was allowed to come because I had to give up that hate and know that he was with Jesus. He also told me that. he had met his grandmother who died years before it was funny that grandmother, my grandmother prayed the rosary every day, and what he said about her was Bubba and mother Mary are tight. It made me laugh, but it also made me know that he was truly in heaven, and he gave me great peace. I even prayed with him to forgive his murderers as Jesus did on the cross, and it gave me closure. I hope you share this. And perhaps it will help your grandmother. He also told me that there are many who have no one to pray for them, so pray, for the poor souls in purgatory, pray for those who have no one to pray for them

[@ornange]

@@2bbossfree my uncle (my grandmother's son) was named Vincent (my oldest brother is named after him). He was 16 when he was murdered with his brother Michael (15 years old) (I actually have a cousin named Vince-Michael). Those were the first 2 sons who she lost... This is where it where it all began... A month ago an incident happened where my uncle Vincent appeared in a family member's dream and a "spiritual occurrence".. Everyone brushed it off as spooky .. but I was like no. He needs our prayers. Even telling my grandmother. I offered my rosaries daily for him if he's in purgatory- I then had a dream the day my grandmother moved out- of a feeling of 4 hugs pulsating from me when I was hugging my grandmother... I knew those were her sons hugging her. I've stopped offering my daily rosary for my uncle... But he came to mind today... And offering my sacrifices to those in purgatory... it came to mind today how I need to devote my rosaries for them again. And then this comment... Thank you so much.... And now my mother is on the phone with my grandmother as I type this comment... Ha. I will pray more on how to go about this. Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and all your loved ones. Truly God used you to help my family and I.

[@2bbossfree]

@@ornange I am praying for you and your family. When I read your comment about your grandmother, I felt strongly that I needed to comment and pray. In my dream, years ago, which seems like only yesterday it was so vivid, my son said that because we always said, after daily meal grace, "May the souls of the faithful departed by the mercy of God, rest in peace" when he was murdered he was surrounded by the light of those souls he had prayed for-- now in heaven--just saying that simple prayer from the time he was little was such a blessing both for them and for him. He said never forget to pray for those in purgatory. Very few pray for them anymore and they are so very grateful for our prayers. Vinny said most visitations of "ghosts" or dreams are those in purgatory asking for prayers. I know those who are not Catholic will scoff, but he said, we, the Church are the body of Christ. We are all connected--One in the Father as Jesus said. "When your knee is skinned, doesn't your hand hold the pain?" Those in purgatory ARE saved by Jesus. That is why they are the "faithful departed" Nothing can save those in hell, but (Matthew 5:26) Every penny must be paid--that is purgatory.

Thank you for your ministry. The last part where you said that Our Mother Mary chose us for this consecration, that it was not us who chose her.... reminded me that a year ago before taking the bar exams, I was about to back out because I was scared of taking the exams. I asked God if he wanted me to go on. Three days before the bar, I dreamt of her reminding me to do the Consecration, and I woke up and saw the moon shine brightly down me from my window view. I felt her there with me. I never got to do the Consecration, but I would make a daily Consecration to her Miraculous Medal. When you said that last part, I found peace and felt her love for a sinner like me.

I cannot even imagine the life of our Blessed Mother, and knowing how she remained graceful and loving throughout watching such a beautiful son AND son of God be crucified for us sinners, it is unfathomable. Many days I want to die, I want to give up. But for my children I keep going, and am so immensely grateful that God loved us so much that he not only gave us a savior, but also a perfect Mother to be sorrowful along side us. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you for this. I truly appreciate everything you said and I believe. Praise be to God.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us Amen. Thank you Gabiafterhours for this video, very timely for this Lenten season. I watch your videos and O find them ao inspiring and what I needed to help me grow spiritually. May God bless you and your ministry. Watching from the Philippines ☺️❤️

Thank you for your spiritual fatherhood through Jesus, Joseph and Mary! In communion from Barcelona!

[@zimac9313]

Thank you & for sharing the story of Our Blessed Mother's 7 Sorrows. I found out about this from the lady who leads our rosary makers group at church. She had aaked me to make a few of this special rosary in which she would attached the metal at the beginning section. I've included it in my daily prayers, especially for the Blessed Mother's assistance in the conversion of my family. ✝️🙏🛐❣️

[@genuinetuffguy1854]

Thank you so much for this wonderful content! I was very glad to hear you talk about mental prayer. I have somehow wandered into doing mental prayer over the years. I have sometimes wondered if I overdramatized my prayers imagining being there to witness the sorrows of Jesus and Mary, but this video gives me peaceful reassurance that I have been led here. May God Bless you!

[@JanetHadson-po2zr]

I always wanted a friendship like Mary had with Elizabeth . All my Catholic friends abandoned me. And I am the hundredth sheep but nobody comes to find me. Nobody except Mary and her son. My journey from Protestantism to Catholicism has been filled with loneliness. And I pray that I will always stand beside converts . My heart will always hold their hands and I will talk forever to them about the Mother heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

[@mualleletsie9212]

What a talk, you are blessing. I have just completed 54 days Novena to our Lady of Sorrows. I will do my best to say it daily, morning hours like you do.

[@Antonia_D]

Astonishingly beautiful!

[@RicardoMartinez-mk7nd]

Powerful devotion. Not even a week in and some very important things about my own spiritual practices were improved.

[@cherryicedteab5535]

Wow! Thank you thank you for this! I told mother that I want to truly propagate my heart to hers while praying the chaplet of 7 sorrows but I’ve been struggling. In a way I feel like she sent me this

[@gabiafterhours]

Yes! No coincedences.

[@rosewater1674]

Thank you for this video. I first discovered the seven sorrows rosary about a year ago, and I find myself really drawn to it, however I lack the discipline to pray both my regular rosaries, and a seven sorrows one each day, although I wish I did. I have a long way to go before I can handle adding that. Until then she will always hold a special place in my heart under the title, Queen of Sorrows. Please pray for me, God bless!

[@tinyvioletof_Jesus_and_Mary]

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am asking for your prayers. I took the most important examination of my life, which decides my future and career. But I'm not fully satisfied with my performance. Pray for me so a miracle may happen and I can score above 90 percent. This is very important and so are your prayers for me. Please remember me in your daily rosary or say a prayer to the Father or 3 Hail Marys for me. May God bless you. Jesus, I trust in you.

[@jennjo822]

Oh how Mary must have felt , every night she must have laid awake after simeons prophecy. When we thought my son was seriously I’ll, waiting for test results , even just those few days… torture. She waited like that… every single night. Not knowing when or how. She never stopped weeping. From that first sword there was no peace 😢

[@dianecalabrese3492]

Thank you Gabi for this beautiful, inspiring talk. God bless you, and your family. Your love for Jesus and our Blessed Mother brings me to tears. I have been subscribed to your channel for many years, but this talk and your videos, on Consecration through Maximillian Kolbe have strengthened even more my desire to live in union with Our Lord. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@gabiafterhours]

God bless you Diane. Mary be with you!!!!

[@HKateyKat]

God heard my prayers about my daughter through the intercession of Mother Mary. My daughter left the LGBTQ+ community, returned to the Catholic Church, and is now living a holy life dedicated to her love for Christ. She also prays the holy rosary regularly. I believe God may be calling her to serve as a nun. This stems from when she was a premature baby and I prayed, "Please God, let my daughter live and she is yours. Use her to glorify you and spread your love." While I couldn't bring myself to say it directly, I always hoped she might serve God in this way. Interestingly, on the occasion of her First Communion, my daughter claims to have witnessed the transformation of the wine into blood. I am continually praying to God and the Holy Rosary, asking for guidance and for my daughter's obedience to His calling for her to become a nun.

[@gabiafterhours]

Incredible testimony!!!

[@LRG396]

I'm going through the RCIA, but I have a protestant background, and one of the teachings I struggled with was Mother Mary, but I've seen that starting to change sense someone donated miraculous medals to everyone in my RCIA group.

Many thanks for this inspiring talk. May God bless you and the work you do.

[@annsossong1385]

I have doing the Seven Sorrows for 10 plus years. They will have more meaning now. ❤thank you. 😊

[@gabsterup]

Hello Gabi. After 7 years of being apart from Christ and the church, I’ve came across your videos and the Virgin Mary has been helping me come back to Jesus. Been praying the rosary begging from my conversion and the conversion of my husband who’s a non-practicing catholic. Please pray for his soul, he’s a police officer and I sometimes worry for his life but more importantly his soul. Please pray that we can eventually get married through the church because I long for Jesus in me. I’m exhausted of carrying this mortal sin and I wish my husband can see that life without Christ is meaningless. Please come to WA state where evangelization is needed!

What better day to meditate the Passion of our Lord through the pierced heart of Mary than Good Friday? Thank you for this video. May God bless you always

[@danielguitron]

All praises to Jesus 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 we are saved by his blood not Mary's. It's what he did at the cross because Mary too needed a salvation because she was a sinner... All have fallen short not one is good that why she had to give an offering... Because she took needs salvation.

[@annamariamullins5350]

AMEN and thank you.

[@moniqueeverywhere7769]

thank you for this❤️ i heard one meditation that says "death is so painful " the separation of the body and soul and how Jesus loves His mother so much that He doesn't let her feel that suffering. To Jesus through Mary. pray of us.

I cant comphrend the beautiful place Mary has in our Journey home to God.

[@connorericson]

I wouldn’t say I’m a Protestant, but I grew up Baptist and wondering where to start my journey into the Catholic Church along with everything else. I’m overwhelmed and have much self doubt that I won’t be able to learn all of it

[@gabiafterhours]

Don't be overwhelmed... you know more than the average catholic in the pews.

[@margokupelian344]

@@gabiafterhoursthat’s true but it didn’t sound nice. I’m sure this gentleman has been taught about Jesus but nothing about Mary. May God bless him and Mary teach him whatever he needs to know. Blessings to you too. ❤️

[@lukebrasting5108]

Learning the Catholic faith seems daunting at first, but all you need to do is just focus on one topic at a time - Mary, baptism, confession, the Papacy, the Eucharist, ecclesiology, the Communion of Saints etc - and everything will begin to fall into place and make sense, in the same way that a picture begins to form as more and more pieces of a puzzle are placed together. Start with these books. 1. The Faith Explained by Leo Trese 2. Theology for Beginners by Frank Sheed 3. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary by Brant Pitre 4. Jesus and the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told by Brant Pitre 5. The Lamb's Supper by Scott Hahn

[@AlbertoLopez-mn8ms]

Great stuff Gabe, thank you. Let us revive the use of the 7 sorrows rosary and pray with our Mother. Mater Dolorosa ora pro nobis

[@gabiafterhours]

Yes! Thank you! Ora pro knobs!

[@LisaKnobel]

I made a 7 Sorrows chaplet at the request of a friend. He had it and never prayed it. Then he had a mental breakdown. He still did not pray it. And, then, he said it started screaming at him. I think he tried to say that it was about me, but I think this is all the result of him not praying it. I refused to take it back. I hope he has started praying it.

I am not Catholic, but I would like to be. What I am, is a mother. And I can tell you that Holiness was only one reason she suffered so much at the cross, it's because she was watching her BABY.

[@marmeryside]

Dear brothers and sisters, I ask for prayers for the Holy Spirit parish in Barcelona Spain with a perpetual adoration chapel and works of charity to the poor of San Joseph. They want to demolish it to build a university without a church. Please pray for us. The Holy Spirit parish is praying with devotions to the Holy Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, the Saints and it is all full capacity at mass. We are in prayer and need a miracle. Thank you, the Lord bless you all.

[@bethedoG...gohome]

Thank you for ALL your videos!!

[@rellg.2607]

I am going to go through your entire video, but for now I just wanted to thank you Gabriel for sharing this devotion. I wish I practiced this devotion a long time ago. I received a prayer card a long time ago and never really thought about it. I only knew of this devotion after going through some major trauma the beginning of this year which forever changed me. Through this devotion it revealed to me a lot of things I need to work on such as my defects and now I think of my defects and sins. It revealed that there were people who had ill-intentions and I intuitively believed so prior to this devotion. It also helped me realize to trust in Jesus and Mary because sometimes it is only ourselves we can count on when making big decisions. . Especially with discernment. Mother Mary and Our Lord is always there to help us. And also Mother Mary I learned is the fastest way for us to get to Jesus also. Our Lady of Sorrows will protect you just ask her always and please pray the rosary. I can't go a day without praying the rosary or something feels just not right. Our Lady of Sorrows, ora pro nobis.
