A Fierce and Tender Love: 7 Meditations on Mary...

In A Fierce and Tender Love, bestselling author, speaker, and theologian Timothy P. O'Malley invites us to contemplate Mary, as a model of tenderness, hope, and renewal, and as the Church's first and preeminent disciple. As O'Malley writes, “Mary's vocation is also to be ours. Like her, we are called to find our meaning and our identity most completely in the tender mercy of God revealed in the face of the Son.”

The book offers seven thoughtful meditations on Mary's life, including:

• The Immaculate Conception as a model of true freedom
  • The Annunciation as the wisdom to trust God
• The Visitation as a source of enduring hope
• The Incarnation as the revolution of tenderness that changes everything
• The Seven Sorrows of Mary, showing us how she walks with us in suffering
• Mary's motherhood of the Church, calling us to deeper discipleship
• The Assumption as a glimpse of our own future victory in Christ
