In this book, readers will find a vivid portrayal of Marys inner life and generous yes to God, based on the New Testament, depicting a deeply compassionate, truly thoughtful, really holy, and wholly human woman to whom we can readily relate. Here is an entry into Marys inner life, based on what is said about her in the New Testament, showing how this hugely compassionate woman can provide an example for us in our Christian lives. A number of the Mysteries of the Rosary are also present in this book: there are chapters on the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Birth of Jesus, the Presentation, the Finding in the Temple, the Crucifixion, the Descent of Holy Spirit, and the Coronation of Our Lady as Queen of Heaven. The book paints a portrait of a thoroughly human, compassionate, warm, and resilient woman. Practically all the quotations that appear at the beginning of the chapters are quotations from women.
