PREFACE
MATER CHRISTI
PRAYERS - Before Meditation
Immaculate!
Mary's Birthday
Mary's Presentation in the Temple
Mary's Marriage
A quiet companion for reflective prayer, this volume invites listeners to walk beside Mary through the moments that shaped her life. Drawing on the Ignatian practice of visualisation, each meditation gently guides the imagination to behold scenes such as the Annunciation, the humble wedding at Cana, and the tender exchange between mother and child in the stable. The rhythm of prayers before and after each meditation helps centre the heart, while the language remains rooted in Scripture and tradition, making the ancient mysteries feel immediate and personal.
Throughout the first part, the book offers a series of short, reverent reflections that focus on Mary’s early words, her “yes” to God, and the deep silence that followed the birth of Jesus. Listeners are encouraged to let these moments unfold in their mind’s eye, fostering a sense of intimacy with the Mother of Christ. The gentle tone and steady pacing create space for contemplation without demanding theological expertise.
