Mariam
The Mother of the Lord and Mother of Our Life
$13.00
The Holy Virgin was the crown of the holiness of all the righteous of the Old Testament, the distillation of the godliness of the Prophets of Israel. She was the fruit of centuries of painful prayer by the people of God who cried out to Him for redemption. In her earthly life, she never sinned. As a result, an unbroken stream of incorrupt and eternal life flowed continuously within her. Not only did she never grieve the Holy Spirit, but she also gave all the space of her heart to the Heavenly King. Thus, her hypostasis shone forth already perfected from a tender age. Even before Christ took flesh from her, the Mother of God bore within herself the universality of her Son. In order to bear the supranatural grace of divine motherhood, she lived in this world ‘as alive from the dead’ (Cf. Rom. 6:13) completely hidden, in the depths of humility, wholly surrendered to the will of God. Yet the death she underwent was transformed into a precursor of indestructible life, since voluntary death for the sake of the commandments brings forth the earnest of eternal life and the inheritance of the incorruptible glory of God.

After reading the printed book, the ebook is so welcome, and it is so easy to search and bookmark places where you want to revisit, read again and reflect on it.
Every page is so full of wisdom, thank you so much to Fr Zacharias for providing these spiritual gems to feed our hungry souls.
“No man can find salvation on his own, nor can he be self-sufficient and trust himself in the great things that he may have experienced in the Church of Christ. … Although she surpassed all in grace, we see that even the Mother of God dared not trust herself but sought a point of reference in righteous Elisabeth.”

Glory to God for stumbling across this treasure! It has greatly increased my love of the Mother of God. Archimandrite Zacharias shows how the teaching of Our Lady’s perpetual virginity is not simply deduced from abstract principles, but is rather rooted in the deep experience of monastic spirituality. In this book, I found myself learning about the Blessed Virgin, but also learning more how to pray. This book is simple to understand, profound in almost every sentence, and powerful in its fruit.
