Feast of the Marys by Rev Steve Dixon

Price: £5.00

These accessible but resonant poems were inspired by the scriptural stories of Mary, some of the traditional titles given to her, and church dedications such as ‘Our Lady of the Pines’ which associate her with everyday locations and activities. The poems link Mary’s story and the qualities ascribed to her with contemporary situations to suggest a thread of blessing weaving through our ordinary lives. They are suitable for personal reflection, to enrich worship, as a contribution to quiet days, prayer stations or retreats, and for use with the rosary.
