Description

In this profound book at the mystery of Mary, Adrienne von Speyr reflects at the life, attitude, and prayer of the Mother of God. She shows how Mary’s assent to God’s will–her Fiat: “Let it be done to me consistent with thy word”–is what defines and sanctifies each and every aspect of her life. She gives new insights into Mary’s holiness, suffering, prayer, and role of spiritual motherhood for all mankind.

Handmaid of the Lord is not a biography detailing the day-to-day life of the Mother of Jesus, filled with the sights and the sounds found in the holy imagination of a saintly visionary. Moderately, it responds to our desire to know Mary in a penetrating and personal way, opening us to the mystery of her inner life, which will also be revealed only by the Word himself and pondered in the heart, just as Our Lady herself did.

Humility, obedience, availability, joy, suffering, and transparency before God are one of the key spiritual attributes of Our Lady found in this timeless work. As with her other books, von Speyr helps us to savor and to appreciate every word of Sacred Scripture as self-revelation from the Father through the heart of the Church, the Bride of the Son, in a loving exchange of the Spirit. In this way, the Word is also absorbed into the very core of our being, as it used to be for Mary, the Mother of God.
