Product Details
Behold the Wonder: The Coming of Christ through Mary’s Eyes gives you a chance to step into the world of scripture and witness the story unfold around you. Imagine breathing in the scent of lilies at the annunciation. Envision Mary embracing Elizabeth in joyful wonder. Author Catherine Cavadini brings a pause to contemplate the hushed awe of the shepherds on that first Christmas night. Behold the Wonder gifts you an opportunity to picture yourself traveling with the Magi beneath a guiding star, drawn to the radiant light of Christ.
Theology professor Catherine Cavadini and artist Anastassia Cassady blend the ancient monastic practices of lectio divina (divine reading) and visio divina (divine seeing) to lead you on a contemplative journey, inviting you to encounter Jesus as Mary did―with wonder, love, and trust within the 128 pages of Behold the Wonder. Behold the Wonder is a beautifully crafted full-color, hardcover book that immerses you in the story of Christ’s birth through vivid storytelling and stunning original artwork. With Mary as your guide, you’ll walk the path from the splendor of the Annunciation to the humble beauty of Bethlehem and the joyful adoration of the Magi. Each Sunday, from the beginning of Advent through the Feast of the Epiphany, you’ll find an invitation to:
- Prepare the Way―Set the stage for prayer with a thoughtful reflection
- Behold the Word―Enter into scripture and God’s unfolding plan
- Consider the Scene―Encounter the Word personally through lectio divina
- Pray with Lectio Divina―Engage in imaginative prayer inspired by scripture
- Contemplate with Visio Divina―Meditate on original artwork in a visual reflection
- Follow Mary Today―Be inspired by saints who embodied Mary’s faith and trust
This Advent, let Mary lead you to a renewed sense of wonder and a deeper encounter with Christ. As you journey with her, you’ll find your heart prepared to welcome Jesus anew―not just in the manger, but in your life, your prayer, and the quiet joy of Christmas morning and beyond.
