“Blessed Is She” -Living Lent with Mary
by Tim Perry
Everyone is happy to see Mary in the crèche at Christmastime, but by the time the Magi head back East after the Feast of the Epiphany, Christians of many traditions are often ready to place Mary to the side too.
Author Timothy Perry presents a Mary who belongs in Lent as much as in Advent, showing what it means to die and live with the crucified and risen Jesus. Drawing primarily from the Gospel of Luke, this book of spiritual reflections reveals a Lenten Mary who teaches us about being disciples. The result is a complex, inviting, strong character – a disciple to be emulated by all Christians, especially during this holy season.
Fr. Jim will lead a five-week book study beginning the week of February 27th. You will have your choice of attending the morning sessions at 10:00am on Mondays, or the evening sessions at 7:00pm on Tuesdays (preceded by a soup supper starting at 6:15pm). Fifteen copies of the book have been ordered ($10 each) and you can reserve one for yourself by contacting Genia in the church office. They are also available for order online.
