Mary, Mother of Sorrows

As we struggle up the steep gradient of our pilgrimage through life so many hills to climb, obstacles to overcome, challenges to tackle, heartaches, tragedies, disappointments this Sequel to "The Story of Mary, Mother of Love", by accenting on the bitter sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, seeks to encourage our pilgrim souls to emulate her saintly example so that we may find Strength to bear our burdens Hope to rise above our despondence Peace through our adversities Comfort through our afflictions Joy through the veil of our tears and Courage to suffer with Glorious Purpose, as did Mary, lowly Handmaid of the Lord, who, by so doing, found Strength to embrace her holy martyrdom, Peace amidst her turmoiled surroundings, Consolation in times of her great sorrowing, and Joy in her ultimate reward of Everlasting Life in Heaven.

Written with the pen of a contemplative and fashioned in the tender love of a true devotee, this meditation on the Sorrows of Our Lady is a gentle but purposeful initiation to the School of Mary a school where the old world is changed into the Kingdom, despair becomes hope, and life breaks into death. Making a welcome contribution to the retrieval of a rich Marian tradition, the author grounds devotion in Scripture, links contemplatio with oratio, and sheds eternal light on a somber present.
