Cause of Our Joy: Walking Day by Day with Our Lady

by Mother Mary Francis P.C.C.

These meditations on Mary are filled with wisdom and hope. On ordinary days, on Marian holy days, and in times of spiritual and moral challenges, they offer the strength and the consolation that come from a relationship with the Mother of Jesus. Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C., a contemplative Poor Clare nun and an acclaimed spiritual writer, wrote with an intimate familiarity of the Mother of God. To her Mary was real, lovable, and accessible, and her words help the reader to discover that walking with Our Lady day by day is the cause of our unending joy. The book includes reflections for the feasts and solemnities of Mary throughout the year. It incorporates the most cherished Marian prayers of the Church, such as the Rosary, the Litany of Loreto, and the Magnificat. Also included are some of the author's poems and a moving tribute to her life and Marian devotion in the form of a foreword written by her Poor Clare spiritual daughters.

Each chapter in this book gives the history and a short reflection for many Marian apparitions. I got the impression that it was written for a youthful audience of the time of publication (1970's). Nonetheless, as an adult reading it, I felt like there was plenty of information and reflection.

Great reflections on the different Marian feast days and relating them to different Marian titles. A lot of wisdom!
