Be enriched by the understanding of Mary as a Jewish woman and nourished by the Magnificat in a new edition of this classic of woman's spirituality.

The story of Miriam, the mother of Jesus Christ

Federico Suarez here explores the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Presentation in the Temple, Mary's hidden life, the wedding at Cana, and Mary's sorrows at the Cross. He does so to show that the Blessed Mother is not just to be admired, but to be imitated by every Christian. Suarez pays particular attention to the concept of vocation in Mary's life, depicting her as the supreme example of one who strove for holiness in every condition in which she found herself. This book helps you do likewise.

Jesus, the rabbi of Nazareth, was always on the move. Therefore, shadowing him, following in his footsteps, amounts to being engaged in a continual process of becoming, of reinventing oneself, of being born anew every day. This nomadic lifestyle, which fosters simplification and improvisation, is paradoxically also very enriching--to the point of transforming us into pilgrims on the way to the messianic age.
