How do you walk with your children during times of struggle and crisis? Do you feel as if nothing you do will be enough? In Mary's Way, a heartfelt book for moms who struggle to guide children through the various stages of their lives, Catholic speaker and teacher Judy Landrieu Klein shows how her own crisis of faith helped her release her children to the care of the Blessed Mother. In doing so, Klein shows you how to find the love, joy, and peace of Our Lord as you surrender your will to him. Judy Landrieu Klein struggled with her faith as she lived through her son’s near-fatal addiction to drugs and her daughter’s painful anxiety. She discovered she couldn’t handle the relentless pressure of life not measuring up to her expectations and it was eating away at her family. Klein considered Mary’s reaction to the events in the life of Jesus. She meditated on Mary’s fiat and her prayer of total surrender to God’s will and saw how this act of obedience carried on throughout Mary’s life as she witnessed the life of her son. As Klein focused on her devotion to the Blessed Mother, her life and faith were transformed. In Mary’s Way, Klein reflects on the Annunciation and describes her own to struggle to embrace the will of God by surrendering control of her family planning. She meditates on Mary’s powerlessness during the Crucifixion, finding a place of calming surrender during her own son’s escalating battle with addiction. Klein shows how you can become a more powerful intercessor for yourself and your children. When you finish reading this book, you’ll find yourself turning to Mary and surrendering yourself and your children more fully to God.

How can we seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness in today’s world when all around us are temptations, trials and extreme opposition toward Christian values. Apathy toward the Church and a lack of commitment to spiritual things even among Christians saddens the faithful and those who diligently seek after the things of God. When Jesus spoke these words in Matthew 6:33, the world was no different. If it had been, He would not have had to leave the glory of Heaven to dwell among us. Jesus calls on mankind to seek and know Him because He knows that is where we will find peace and joy for this life and know kingdom living for eternity. We will not understand the full extent of His love until we learn to seek Him first and above all else. His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9), and His love for us is greater than we can imagine. Daily seeking Him is one way we can draw near to our Creator and truly know Him as He wants to be known. Let this devotional book only serve as a helper to point you to His holy Word, the Bible, where you will learn truth as you discover the omnipotence and omniscience in the presence of Holy God.
