What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

The Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows is a devotion in the Catholic Church that focuses on the sorrows and sufferings endured by the Blessed Virgin Mary during her life, particularly during the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is a way for Catholics to meditate on and honor the deep emotional and spiritual pain experienced by Mary as the Mother of Jesus.The devotion typically consists of nine consecutive days of prayer, known as a novena. It is usually conducted leading up to the feast day of Our Lady of Sorrows, which is celebrated on September 15th. However, it can be prayed at any time throughout the year. During the novena, Catholics reflect on the Seven Sorrows of Mary, which are: 1. The Prophecy of Simeon: The sorrow Mary experienced when Simeon prophesied the future suffering of Jesus. 2. The Flight into Egypt: The sorrow Mary felt when she had to flee to Egypt with Joseph and the infant Jesus to escape King Herod's persecution. 3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple: The sorrow Mary endured when she and Joseph lost Jesus in Jerusalem and searched for him for three days. 4. The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross: The sorrow Mary experienced as she encountered her son carrying the cross on the way to Calvary. 5. The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus: The intense sorrow Mary endured as she witnessed the crucifixion and death of her son. 6. The Descent from the Cross: The sorrow Mary felt when Jesus' lifeless body was taken down from the cross and placed in her arms. 7. The Burial of Jesus: The sorrow Mary experienced as she laid her son's body in the tomb. The Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows involves prayers, reflections, and meditations on these seven sorrows. It is a time for deep contemplation, seeking solace, and finding strength through Mary's example of faith and endurance in the midst of suffering. By engaging in this devotion, the Catholic faithful seek the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows to obtain comfort, healing, and spiritual growth. The novena provides an opportunity to unite one's own sufferings and struggles with those of Mary, asking for her guidance and support in times of sorrow and adversity.

... ʺHow can prayers said over and over again like that be any good?ʺ Mistress Margaret was silent for a moment. ʺI saw young Mrs. Martin last week,ʺ she said, ʺwith her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her motherʹs neck, and was being rocked to and fro; and every time she rocked she said ʹOh, mother.ʹ ʺ ʺBut, then,ʺ said Isabel, after a momentʹs silence, ʺshe was only a child.ʺ ʺ 'Except ye become as little children --' ʺ quoted Mistress Margaret softly ‐ ʺyou see, my Isabel, we are nothing more than children with God and His Blessed Mother. To say, ʹHail Mary, Hail Mary,ʹ is the best way of telling her how much we love her. And, then, this string of beads is like Our Ladyʹs girdle, and her children love to finger it, and whisper to her. And then we say our Our Fathers too; and all the while we are talking, she is showing us pictures of her dear Child, and we look at all the great things He did for us, one by one; and then we turn the page and begin again. ...
