Feeling Led to Observe Multiple Devotions - Conflicted

[Zeldarocks]

Over the past day or so, I have felt led of the Virgin Mary to Observe the “Seven Dolors of Mary” in addition to the Divine Mercy and Rosary. Now, I understand the efficacy in observing these various devotions (I am restarting observation of the Rosary, reciting the Divine Mercy Chaplet on and off).

The thing is, when I got the impression to observe this additional devotion, I sighed and basically said that I didn’t want to undertake it; I then felt guilty for having dismissed it.

Am I being scrupulous, or should I observe this additional devotion at risk of sinning/not listening to the Blessed Mother?

Not adhering to a certain devotion or another is no sin.

If you tried to adhere to all meritorious devotions, you would have to pray 24/7 to get a small percentage.

I suggest getting a spiritual director; good athletes eventually reach the point where they need a coach; so do spiritual athletes:thumbsup:

it’s more beneficial for you to take up one devotion and excels at it than takes up multiple and do it poorly

If you are pursuing the Seven Dolors Rosary, I suggest you do what the religious order Miles Christi does, pray the Seven Dolors only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

If you only plan to pray the Hail Mary seven times in honor of the Dolors then perhaps that should be easier. You may do that daily.

If Our Lady wants you to observe her dolors, do so because it could do you much good.
