Into Heart of Mary: Imagining Her Scriptural Stories

Scripture scholar Rea McDonnell's latest book offers a faith-filled, challenging, and mature vision of Mary. With techniques of Ignatian meditation, McDonnell invites readers to ponder the Scriptures of Mary and use their imaginations to pray with them.

Drawing on a lifetime of biblical study and work as a retreat director, Rea McDonnell re-introduces us to Mary by teaching us to appreciate anew the spiritual truths found in her scriptural stories. Using Ignatian meditation, McDonnell invites readers to prayerfully ponder Marian passages from scripture and ancient tradition, helping them use their imaginations to meet Mary again for the first time.

This mature and challenging vision of Mary will help cultivate love for her and nudge us toward authentic spiritual growth.
