Drawing upon meditations attributed to <strong>St. Anselm of Canterbury</strong> and <strong>St. Bernard</strong>, this devotional classic unveils the profound union of Christ's redemptive sacrifice and Mary's compassionate participation in the mystery of salvation.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">Rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Church's contemplative tradition, these meditations encourage readers to enter more deeply into the Passion with prayer, gratitude, and contrition. As Mary's sorrow reveals the immeasurable depth of Christ's love for humanity, readers are invited to examine their own lives, embrace the mercy won on the Cross, and grow in compassion through the example of the Mother of Sorrows. Particularly suited for Lent and Holy Week, this timeless work serves as a powerful companion for meditation throughout the entire liturgical year.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fdfcf0; border: 1px solid #d4af37; padding: 1.25rem; margin: 1.5rem 0; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #870000; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"><strong>What This Book Offers:</strong></p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>A Marian Perspective on the Passion:</strong> Experience Christ's suffering through the loving and sorrowful gaze of His Blessed Mother.</li>\n<li><strong>Timeless Spiritual Wisdom:</strong> Draw upon reflections attributed to St. Anselm and St. Bernard that have nourished Catholic devotion for centuries.</li>\n<li><strong>Prayerful Meditation:</strong> Deepen your contemplation of the Gospel Passion narratives through guided spiritual reflection.</li>\n<li><strong>Lenten Companion:</strong> Enrich your observance of Lent, Holy Week, and every season of the Church year with meditations centered on the Cross.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li><strong>Contemplate Christ's Sacrifice:</strong> Reflect more deeply on the immeasurable love revealed through His Passion and Death.</li>\n<li><strong>Share in Mary's Compassion:</strong> Learn from the perfect disciple who remained faithful at the foot of the Cross.</li>\n<li><strong>Grow in Contrition:</strong> Examine your own heart in light of Christ's redemptive suffering and boundless mercy.</li>\n<li><strong>Strengthen Your Prayer Life:</strong> Enter into a richer tradition of Catholic meditation rooted in Scripture and the saints.</li>\n<li><strong>Prepare for Easter Joy:</strong> Allow the mystery of the Cross to deepen your appreciation for Christ's victory over sin and death.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Tradition</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1.15rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">\"Standing by the Cross of Jesus was His Mother.\" <br /><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #555;\">&mdash; John 19:25</span></blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">This book is ideal for Catholics seeking a deeper appreciation of Christ's Passion through the maternal witness of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Passion of the Christ Through the Eyes of Mary

By St. Anselm of Canterbury · Published by TAN Books

Overview

No one witnessed the Passion of Christ more intimately than His Blessed Mother. The Passion of the Christ Through the Eyes of Mary invites readers to accompany Our Lady from Gethsemane to Calvary, contemplating the sufferings of Jesus through the heart of the Mother who loved Him most. Drawing upon meditations attributed to St. Anselm of Canterbury and St. Bernard, this devotional classic unveils the profound union of Christ's redemptive sacrifice and Mary's compassionate participation in the mystery of salvation.

Rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Church's contemplative tradition, these meditations encourage readers to enter more deeply into the Passion with prayer, gratitude, and contrition. As Mary's sorrow reveals the immeasurable depth of Christ's love for humanity, readers are invited to examine their own lives, embrace the mercy won on the Cross, and grow in compassion through the example of the Mother of Sorrows. Particularly suited for Lent and Holy Week, this timeless work serves as a powerful companion for meditation throughout the entire liturgical year.

  • A Marian Perspective on the Passion: Experience Christ's suffering through the loving and sorrowful gaze of His Blessed Mother.
  • Timeless Spiritual Wisdom: Draw upon reflections attributed to St. Anselm and St. Bernard that have nourished Catholic devotion for centuries.

    Beautiful Marian Book

    Posted by Nanette E. on Dec 20th 2022

    I sat down and read this book in a day. It was a beautiful book on two different reflections on Marys role in the Passion of Christ in the form of conversations,and one reflection of the Passion as Mary would recount it and also the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Simply lovely!

    The Passion of Christ Through the Eyes of Mary

    Posted by MARY H. on Dec 1st 2022

    St. Anselm knows the power of creative, spiritual expression and it moved my heart to deeper Catholic faith. The translator;s comments throughout this book assisted my understanding of these Middle Ages spiritual writings. My most valuable take away was the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary Meditative Devotion printed in the last 36 pages of this book. It is a very pious way of praying more deeply to our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary.
