About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Through the fertile imagination of poet Herbert Brokering, she who is pregnant with the One who is to come speaks her wisdom to us. Brief daily reflections invite us to taste and savor the real meaning of these holy days. It is the spirit of Jesus, through Mary, that reaches out to sustain us." ---Miriam Therese Winter Medical Mission Sister Author Professor of Liturgy, Worship, and Spirituality, Hartford Seminary

"Here find the work of a poet, inviting you to enter Mary's questions and joy, her hope and faith---and your own. Brokering's conversations with the mother of our Lord open heart and eyes to ways that we, like Mary, bear the holy life of God. Savor these conversations and you may receive the Christmas gift you most want: the presence of Jesus living within you." ---David L.
