In this one-of-a-kind chaplet, a richly-detailed medal honors the Mother of God with a tender portrait.  This devotion is dedicated to the Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows of Our Mother's Heart.  The Aves are 10mm vintage glass in soft rose picasso.   The extraordinary medal and the Paters were crafted by artisan Paula Russi. 

 A mother's heart knows joys and sorrows,
and no one knows this better than Our Blessed Mother, Mary.

We offer this chaplet for meditations on both the Seven Joys and the Seven Sorrows of Our Blessed Mother.  On each of the large beads, consider one of the Seven Joys or Sorrows.  On the three small beads, pray Our Father, Hail Mary, and Gloria.
