Mary
appears only a few times in the Bible, but those few passages come at
crucial moments. Catholics believe that Mary is the ever-virgin
Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. But she also was a
human being--a woman who made a journey of faith through various
trials and uncertainties and endured her share of suffering. Even
with her unique graces and vocation, Mary remains a woman we can
relate to and from whom we have much to learn.
In
Walking
with Mary,
Edward Sri looks at the crucial passages in the Bible concerning Mary
and offers insight about the Blessed Mother's faith and devotion that
we can apply in our daily lives. We follow her step-by-step through
the New Testament account of her life, reflecting on what the
Scriptures tell us about how she responded to the dramatic events
unfolding around her.
“This
book is the fruit of my personal journey of studying Mary through the
Scriptures, from her initial calling in Nazareth to her painful
experience at the cross,” writes Edward Sri “It is intended to be
a highly readable, accessible work that draws on wisdom from the
Catholic tradition, recent popes, and biblical scholars of a variety
of perspectives and traditions. With the riches of these insights, we
will ponder what her journey of faith may have been like in order to
draw out spiritual lessons for our own walk with God.” He add, “It
is my hope, therefore, that whether you are of a Catholic,
Protestant, or other faith background, this book may help you to
know, understand, and love Mary more, and that it may inspire you to
walk in her footsteps as a faithful disciple of the Lord in your own
pilgrimage of faith.”
