Happy Feast Day of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

From The Saint Andrew Daily Missal with Vespers for Sundays and Feasts by Dom Gaspar Lefebvre, O.S.B., of the Abbey of St- André (Bruges, Belgium: Liturgical Apostolate of the Abbey of St-André, 1956), here is the Mass for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Here is a commentary upon the Mass for the Feast Day of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, taken from the late Cardinal Schuster's The Sacramentary (Liber Sacramentorum): Historical and Liturgical Notes on the Roman Missal (vol. IV, trans. Arthur Levelis-Marke; New York: Benziger Brothers, 1929).

The Mass said on Passion Friday and the Mass of today's Feast Day are almost same.
