Bogoroditza:: She Who Gave Birth to God

by Catherine de Hueck Doherty

Gently, slowly, Mary walks with you through the whole life of her Son--leading you into her school of love. In Bogoroditza, "She who gave birth to God," we have a mother who is always with us, caring for us, always revealing her son. Catherine shows us how to walk with Mary, gently and slowly, through the life of her Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are led to Mary's essential "school of love," where we will learn how to restore this world to God--and that this restoration lies not in what you do, but in what you are. Here, Catherine asks us all to "Go to the woman who gave bith to perfect love that casts out fear. Go to the Mother of God, the beloved of the Trinity, the mother of all men and women, the queen of sorrows and of martyrs. Go to find Our Lady of joy. 'I live not, Christ lives in me,' and because of it I know perfect joy." Though more than two dozen books have been published from Catherine Doherty's writings, this book reveals for the first time her hidden, most intimate relationship with the Mother of God, "the woman clothed with silence."

This isn't a long book but I am now a lot clearer on Mary's place in the Russian orthodox church, and the role of the rosary in prayer....
Yes, I have found this book worth reading.....
