The Mother is not separated from the fruit that she brings forth; after the birth she does not cease to be mother and bearer. Rather it is part of her fruit that she becomes the Mother of all Christians.

—Adrienne von Speyr
from her book Handmaid of the Lord

THE MYSTERY OF MARY

In this profound book, Adrienne von Speyr reflects on 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 according to thy word”—defines and sanctifies every aspect of her life. She gives new insights into Mary’s holiness, suffering, prayer, and role of spiritual motherhood for all mankind.
