In Short:
The seven swords that pierced the Heart of Mary the mother of Jesus Christ as found in the New Testament of the Bible are listed below.
These seven swords are also known also as the seven sorrows of Mary.
The flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15)
Loss of the Child Jesus for three days (Luke 2:41-50)
Mary meets Jesus on his way to Calvary (Luke 23:27-31; John 19:17)
Crucifixion and Death of Jesus (John 19:25-30)
The body of Jesus taken from the Cross (Psalm 130; Luke 23:50-54; John 19:31-37)
The burial of Jesus (Isaiah 53:8; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42; Mark 15:40-47)
By contemplating on these verses we see that as Jesus had suffered in his Body, his mother had suffered in her heart.
May She teach us also to suffer for Christ in our daily life.
