Your Sorrow Is My Sorrow
A page titled “For Personal Reflection and/or Group Discussion” follows each chapter in this book. However, there are no suggestions for commenting on the “Introduction.” (Pages 19-25.) I suggest the following to precede conversation on Chapter One.
- What is your history with Mary of Nazareth, mother of Jesus? How have you known or not known her? How familiar are you with the “Seven Sorrows” attributed to her life?
- The author describes Mary as “the feminine embodiment of the divine quality of compassion.” Share an experience from your life, in how you either offered or received compassion?
- Which of the ways given to view Mary most resonate with you?
a) historical (b) scriptural (c) legendary (d) symbol of our own or others’ sorrows
