What Ever Happened to Mary
Today's Catholics are asking, "what ever happened to Mary?" Once central to Catholic practice and identity, Mary now seems lost. Disagreements surrounding popular devotions, stories of apparitions, and her role in the church cause Catholics to question her significance in their spiritual lives. With all that has happened since Vatican II in both our church and our world, where does she stand today? With the ever-expanding experience of women in faith and culture, where is her place?It is time to take another look at Mary, to see once again that Mary played a vital role throughout our church's history, and that she still has a vital role to play today.In What Ever Happened to Mary? author Mary Hines proposes a renewed direction for a marian spirituality -- based in scripture and our earliest traditions -- to enliven our faith and deepen our prayer.Complete with questions for discussion, What Ever Happened to Mary? is a perfect book for personal reflection or group discussion. It is a quick, easy entrance into the wondrous truth that God is with us, born of a woman whose yes to God magnifies God's eternal love for us; a woman whose life for God models our quest for true discipleship.
