Your Sorrow Is My Sorrow: Hope and Strength in Times of Suffering

In each chapter Rupp shares the scriptural quote referencing Mary’s sorrow, and then speaks in Mary’s voice, viscerally describing the holy mother’s experience in the face of worry, fear, and pain. Next, Rupp relates Mary’s struggle with the real-life challenges that men and women face in their lives. These explanations help us see how useful the contemplation of Mary’s sorrow can be for dealing with our own troubles. Each section concludes with devotional poems and questions for personal reflection and includes beautiful, original illustrations. Known for the tender grace and simple elegance of both her poetry and prose, Rupp, in this work, invites us to an intimate and powerful encounter with the mother of God.
