That's wonderful you found such peace at Our Lady of Sorrows. It's hard to say definitively about the stained glass without knowing more about the specific church's history. Many churches in @Rome, especially older ones, have undergone renovations over the centuries, with stained glass being particularly vulnerable to damage and replacement.

Prepare for crowds no matter what, though; it is the Colosseum. It's a bucket-list item for a reason. Good luck!
