Madonna of the Ways - Paperback

by Jeanne Tiefenbach-Henderson (Author)

This book is more than a series of paintings with meditations. As a book, it is quite humble. Let's look at the Hail Mary. When we say the Hail Mary, who do we find in the center, in the middle of the prayer itself? Jesus. It is as though Mary is holding her son in her arms with the first half of the Hail Mary which is biblical and then the second half is the plea of all her children aimed ultimately at her Son. Those two sections reach out like gentle arms coming together to hug the heart the center of the book, Jesus. The point of this book is to draw you closer to Jesus and into your 'Mary Heart'. What is your "Mary Heart'? It is a heart of love as you prayerfully sweep the floor as a sweet gesture of service to your home and household or as you care for a child or someone in need. Each page speaks to different times in your life that can become so sacred and meaningful, beyond just the task or chore or routine care.
