Product Details
Birthing the Holy – Wisdom from Mary to Nurture Creativity and Renewal companions you to feel more alive and to see the vibrancy in your daily life. Are you feeling the seeds of a new calling tugging at you? Then look to the Blessed Mother for help through Birthing the Holy. Author of Birthing the Holy is Christine Valters Paintner, abbess of the online Abbey of the Arts. She invites the reader to know Mary and her heart through Mary’s many beautiful thirty-one titles, some of which are very familiar like Virgin, Queen of Peace, and Star of the Sea. But there are others less familiar such as Vessel of Grace, Greenest Branch, and Our Lady of Silence.
Birthing the Holy has a flexible format to reflect on Mary’s titles through a thirty-one day personal retreat, a series of novenas, or with visio divina exercises. The visio divina exercises use the striking images of printmaker Kreg Yingst. As you reflect on Mary in her role as Mother of Good Counsel, Woman Clothed with the Sun, Mystical Rose, Mother of Sorrows, Queen of the Angels and other titles, Birthing the Holy invites you to hear what God calls you to develop in your life, help that dream or vision grown, and then nourish it in the world. Whether you are meeting Mary for the first time in these magnificent titles or revisiting her as a beloved companion, Birthing the Holy invites you to explore Mary and your life as a spiritual and creative act. This deepens your faith and can spark a new growth within you.
