An aid to prayer

This author was recommended to me by one of the sisters in the order. The book 'Your Sorrow is My Sorrow' I chose because I had a card with one of the poems on and it impressed me. I have not long started using the book but I find that the meditations, the poetry and the suggestions for using the ideas have enabled me to pray better and to relate the prayer to everyday life. It's not a book that will be read quickly, but it will be a companion for me on my spiritual journey for some time.

For The Heavy of Heart

Your Sorrow is My Sorrow is one of those once in a lifetime books. I happened to pick this up by accident, or should I say by divine Providence. The words are comforting whether you have lost a loved one, to death, drugs or mistrust...this book will carry you through. The words of Mary come striking through to the heart and lay to rest in the lap of comfort and solace. The prayers are simple yet heartfelt. This is a book that will get you through the rough times. Thank you Joyce Rupp!
