Roses and Thorns
Mary's maternal tenderness for each believer (then and now) is apparent at every moment in this little book. The Venerable Conchita notes that the Blessed Mother's thorns or sorrows are an expression of this tenderness. She invites us to receive the rose for our consolation and surrender, keeping the thorn for herself. In this way, we might discover her motherly love and might keep her company as she reflects on her separation from Jesus following the Ascension. Conchita has Mary say, The sorrows were all for me, but the precious fruit derived from them--for you. These pages will draw a reader to new union with Mary, whose help and example will assure a deeper understanding of the Lord's love. In the words of Msgr. Juan Esquerda Bifet of Rome's Urbaniana Pontifical University: Roses and Thorns will be a classic of Marian devotion in the style of The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort and The Glories of Mary of St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori.
