Review from the Publisher

Father Faber plumbs to the depths the meaning of Our Lady's Seven Sorrows. Each one is described and analyzed with the precision of a theologian and the artistry of a poet, inciting the reader to new tenderness toward the sorrows of Our Mother and love of her Divine Son. Father Faber says, "We never advance more rapidly in love of the Son than when we travel by the Mother, and that what we have built most solidly in Jesus has been with Mary. There is no time lost in seeking Him, if we go at once to Mary; for He is always there, always at home. He who is growing in devotion to the Mother of God is growing in all good things. His time cannot be better spent; his eternity cannot be more infallibly secured."
