_____________________________________
Mary, Mother of Sorrows is a beautiful and heartfelt meditation on the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary. E. Mary Christie writes with clarity, deep faith, and a gentle spirit that lifts the reader rather than weighing them down. Though the subject of sorrow might sound heavy, the book’s real focus is on how God transforms suffering into purpose, courage, and love.
Each reflection invites us to step into Mary’s experience—not as distant observers but as companions who learn from her steadfast trust in God. Christie connects Mary’s sorrows to the challenges we face today, making this a truly accessible devotional for anyone seeking comfort, inspiration, or a deeper relationship with Our Lady.
The book is practical and encouraging. The author doesn’t shy away from pain or sacrifice, but she always points toward hope. By the end, the reader walks away not only with a greater appreciation of Mary’s role in salvation history, but with renewed strength to endure their own trials.
This is a book that can be read slowly, prayed with, and returned to often. Whether you are new to Marian devotion or already deeply devoted, Mary, Mother of Sorrows is a gift—one that reminds us that sorrow in God’s hands becomes a path to grace.

Filled with compassion, love and understanding the author of this insightful book has written a heartfelt chronicle of events following Mary’s fiat to God. We are encouraged to imitate Our Lady’s example in all our trials, tribulations and sorrows of life. In this book, the author inspires the reader to be grateful for Mary’s fiat, for her acceptance of the Cross, her motherly love and the desire to follow in Mary’s footsteps.
Very Good Book

I thought this book was well written. E. Mary Christie is a wonderful story teller who uses her narrative and descriptive skills to bring the reader very close to the 'suffering' mother of Jesus. We are made to feel 'at home' in each of the seven scenes where we gain a deeper understanding of what the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart endured. We are invited to reach out to comfort her and grow in our own love for her. I recommend this book as thoughtfully written and well worth reading and reflecting upon.
