Sanny Bruijns, a Carmelite sister of the young generation, has brought together in this book her insights on the spiritual way through Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She is fascinated by Mary as a female model of a life touched by God. Sanny Bruijns recognizes in the life of the biblical Mary the experience one gains on his or her spiritual journey. At each one of these experiences she gives her own reflections.
He does not seek the real story in an abundance of words but in a purity of thought. If one wants to know more about Mary and her remembrance, he or she will find in this book a wealth of information. It gives the biblical and apocryphal sources, a personal guide for meditation, all Marian graphics of Albrecht Dürer with an explanation of Drs. Henri Defoer. Finally, there is a great deal of information on Marian feast days and memorials; places of pilgrimage and devotional practices. Prof. Dr. Kees Waaijman wrote a foreword to the book.
