The image of Mary as a survivor both of unthinkable blessings and unimaginable woes has always been a Christian ideal to pray to and imitate. Now, with a contemporary look at a powerful devotion, Joel Giallanza, C.S.C., meditates on the Seven Sorrows of Mary, showing us how in a life filled with suffering, there is also grace, and that a world overcome with challenges awaits our strength. Like Mary, we too can persevere and accept our struggles as paths to growing closer and understanding more deeply the power of her Son.
