The spirit of Advent is like an anticipation of the spirit of Lent and Passiontide. The crucial point of Advent lies, not in the season itself, but in the time before Easter.

THE MYSTERY OF MARY

In this profound book, Adrienne von Speyr reflects on the life, attitude, and prayer of the Mother of God. She shows how Mary’s assent to God’s will—her Fiat: “Let it be done to me according to thy word”—defines and sanctifies every aspect of her life. She gives new insights into Mary’s holiness, suffering, prayer, and role of spiritual motherhood for all mankind.
