The Chaplet of Our Lady of Tears is a powerful Marian devotion revealed through private revelation to Sister Amalia Aguirre of the Crucified Jesus (1901–1977), a Brazilian mystic of the Missionaries of Jesus Crucified. In 1930, the Blessed Virgin appeared to her clothed in violet, holding a rosary of translucent beads resembling crystal drops, and said, “This is the Chaplet of My Tears, which My Son will use to draw great graces upon the world.”

This chaplet honors the Tears of Our Sorrowful Mother, shed for the salvation of souls and the conversion of sinners. Each prayer recalls the depth of Mary’s compassion and the suffering she endured at the foot of the Cross, uniting our hearts with her Immaculate Heart in reparation and intercession.

The Holy See approved the Chaplet of Our Lady of Tears in 1934, granting indulgences and ecclesiastical recognition to this devotion as a means of invoking the mercy of Christ through the sorrow of His Blessed Mother.

May the Tears of Our Lady cleanse the darkness of sin, heal the wounds of the heart, and draw all souls to the pierced Heart of her Divine Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
