This book is a series of imaginative meditations on what Catholic devotional literature refers to as "The Seven Dolors of Mary," seven moments in Our Blessed Mother's life that brought her great pain and suffering. These meditations are reflections on passages from Scripture that put Mary in close contact with the sufferings of Our Lord and, in doing so, seek to place the reader in the same place with them. This work of devotion seeks to deepen the reader's Catholic identity by pointing to Mary, the Mother of Our Lord, and showing us that she is also Our Mother, someone who weeps and mourns over our own pain and suffering, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, or social.
