The Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows

We have put a map of the Shrine after the text.

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows is next to the Holy Cross Chapel. The interior decoration of this Chapel is the gift of the Slovak Church, and hence it is also known as the Slovak Chapel. It was designed by the architect Marian Sitarčík, and its predominant feature is a beautiful Pieta sculpted by Jan Lesňák. The walls are decorated with frescoes depicting the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady, by Petr Čambál, and quotations from the Magnificat inscribed in Slovak, and in Old Church Slavonic, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, the languages of the liturgy in the times of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the Apostles of the Slavs. On the wall behind the altar there is a glass panel with window graphics showing Jesus’ Entombment and His Resurrection. The Slovak Chapel was consecrated during the Slovak National Pilgrimage in 2008, by Bishop František Tondra, President of the Bishops’ Conference of Slovakia,  Archbishop Ján Babjak, the Greek Catholic (Uniate) Archbishop of Prešov, and Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz, Metropolitan Archbishop of Kraków.

For Sister Faustina, Mary is first and foremost the Mother of the Son of God, Mercy Incarnate, and hence by virtue of Divine mercy, She is also the Mother of every human being.  Mary, the best and most caring Mother and Mistress of spiritual life, taught Sister Faustina to contemplate God in her soul, to be obedient to the will of God, to love the Cross and foster the virtues which are the conditions for entrustment to God and love of neighbour. In Her numerous revelations, visions and meetings with Sister Faustina, Mary presented the mystery of Divine mercy, instructing, reinforcing, and attending Sister Faustina on her prophetic mission of Mercy. “I am your Mother by God’s unfathomed mercy,” Mary said (Diary 449). “I am not only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy and your Mother, too” (Diary 330).
