Although the biblical references to Mary, the mother of Jesus, are not overwhelming in number, they are profoundly reflective of the stages of discipleship that each of us must pass through on our way to spiritual maturity
Burns offers readers:
• Spiritual meditations built on ten passages from the Gospels which focus on the spiritual development of Mary
• A look at pondering, suffering, and refocusing in our journey of spiritual development
• An understanding of the role grace plays in our becoming disciples of Christ
• Questions for reflection and small group study.
