If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Nouwen tiene esa capacidad de hablar al corazón de forma sencilla y directa. Leer sus escritos, es como sentarse a hablar con un viejo amigo, pero con el adicional de que el diálogo es espiritual. A veces en la rutina nos perdemos y perdemos de vista quién es el centro de nuestro corazón. Henri nos recuerda que María Santísima es una excelente Madre, porque siempre que nos amparamos a ella, nos termina conduciendo al corazón de su Amado Hijo. Y allí, con El Amado... lo complejo se vuelve sencillo, el temor se vuelve paz y las angustias Gozo.

Great to read Nouwen’s brief thoughts on Mary. One of the few works of his where I can really see his Catholicism shining through. Very refreshing.

This book is beautiful in its simplicity. There are two parts of this small book, the first being a sermon to priests on retreat...but the material is good food for thought for everyone who wants to deepen their relationship with Mary, Mother of God.

The second part is about Nouwen's trip to Lourdes. It was great to walk with the author in his simple thought process. It was a short but very meaningful journey. I think it's relatable if you have ever struggled with vocation(i.e. what you feel called to by God), feeling loved by God, or really felt a need for peace in your life.

It's a book worth your slow reading, or during meditation.

Decent read, not bad by any means. A couple of questionably written things when talking about Mary in my opinion, but to each their own. A few good quotable sayings for sure!

“Anguish is interrupted love. When the love we most need to receive is being withdrawn from us and the love we most want to give is not welcome, then our hearts are torn to pieces and thrown into the darkness of anguish.”

“I see now… how I used to speak more ‘about’ Jesus than ‘to’ him. Most of all, I see now how Jesus had become more of an argument for the moral life than the door to the mystical life which is the life in communion of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

[Jeff]

It's interest Nouwen helps the reader to understand that at the heart of Catholic theology is the link between Jesus & Mary. Mary, for Nouwen, is a vehicle in which the worship of Jesus occurs. Why we can ask for her intercession, is because she was his earthly mother, and therefore is also our mother because of what Jesus tells Mary & John at the end of his life. The 2nd part chronicles his journey to Lourdes, where visions of Mary had taken place. Quite interesting.
