Gifts of the Visitation

Nine Spiritual Encounters with Mary and Elizabeth

by Denise Bossert

Who is Mary, this young woman from Nazareth? Who is the maiden that lived by the Shema? How can we begin to see her with our mind’s eye? To know her heart? To feel what she felt? In "Gifts of the Visitation," speaker, columnist, and Catholic convert Denise Bossert showcases the seasons of birth, grief, newness, and challenge experienced in the hearts of Mary and Elizabeth at the Visitation and invites readers to see these times in their own lives as opportunities to let God make all things new. | read more»
