The Sorrows and Joys of Mary - Paperback

by Mary Pezzulo (Author)

The Seven Sorrows of Mary. The Seven Joys of the Franciscan Crown. Why not pray both at once?

This is a collection of fourteen lively meditations on the sorrows and joys of Mary, told in the order they happened in the life of Mary: joys, then sorrows, then joy, then the most terrible sorrows on the Via Dolorosa, and finally the perfect joy of the Resurrection and Mary's assumption and crowning in Heaven.

May these meditations on the sorrows and joys of Mary remind you of how Mary suffers and rejoices with you in your own life.
