Description
by St Anselm (Author)
"As I stood at the foot of the cross, this pure white garment became saturated with the streams of crimson blood which gushed from His precious body!"
--Our Lady to Saint Anselm
In these pages, you will find two of the most stirring revelations of Christ's passion and death ever recorded by Doctors of the Church--Saint Anselm, the Magnificent Doctor, along with writings attributed to Saint Bernard, the Mellifluous Doctor. These private revelations given by Our Lady will enhance one's prayer life while drawing one deeper into the passion narratives of the Gospels. But what makes this book unique is the heartfelt dialogue between Our Lady and her spiritual sons. Those who read this book will be profoundly moved to not only weep for their sins but to weep for Him whose blood was completely emptied for our salvation.
The Mother of Sorrows is the woman of the interior life who leads us to the Master of the interior life, the Man of Sorrows. There is no better way to contemplate the passion of Christ than through the eyes of Mary, she who loved Him above everything, she who loved Him with a mother's heart, and she who stood firmly when everyone else fled.
Author Biography
Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109), the "Doctor Magnificus," was a Benedictine saint who united the mysticism and austerity of the contemplative and monastic life with the zeal and pastoral diligence of apostolic and episcopal ministry. Occupying a distinguished position amongst the great ecclesiastical leaders and spiritual and theological luminaries who have adorned the Benedictine Order, his writings similarly unite penetrating intelligence and clear, analytical reasoning with overflowing and ardent devotion and passionate imagination. May they continue to guide today's readers in their search for God and inflame in our hearts a desire for the joys and glories of our celestial homeland.
