Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Using the traditional seven sorrows of Mary (prophecy of Simeon, flight into Egypt, Jesus in the Temple, meeting Jesus carrying his cross, standing beneath the cross of Jesus, receiving Jesus' dead body, Jesus being laid in the tomb), Rupp (The Cup of Our Life) asks readers to meet their own sorrows in Mary's journey. For example, when she discusses the flight into Egypt, she notes, "Sometimes it is better not to run or flee from our 'Herods.' Sometimes we need to stay and do battle. We never know what price our freedom will be until we have taken the step away for our 'Herod' toward our new land." Each chapter ends with poems, meditations, guided imagery and questions for personal reflection or group discussion. Rupp's writing challenges the faithful to get beyond their comfortable spirituality and find strength in their times of suffering. Illustrations not seen by PW.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The Heavy of Heart, September 21, 2004
Your Sorrow is My Sorrow is one of those once in a lifetime books. I happened to pick this up by accident, or should I say by divine Providence. The words are comforting whether you have lost a loved one, to death, drugs or mistrust...this book will carry you through. The words of Mary come striking through to the heart and lay to rest in the lap of comfort and solace. The prayers are simple yet heartfelt. This is a book that will get you through the rough times. Thank you Joyce Rupp!

5.0 out of 5 stars wordsthattranspire, April 26, 2007
By lostinlove (Colorado) - See all my reviews
I would just like to say to any woman out there contemplating the purchase of this book, don't wait, hit "purchase with one click" now! Not only will you enjoy every word, the message will be imprinted on your heart forever. It is the most transforming lesson from Mary's perspective any woman can hope to gleen while living in this world.

A kinship with Mary will develop and you will never look at motherhood the same way again. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars An aid to prayer, October 2, 2008
By Susan Rossi (Scotland, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
This author was recommended to me by one of the sisters in the order. The book 'Your Sorrow is My Sorrow' I chose because I had a card with one of the poems on and it impressed me. I have not long started using the book but I find that the meditations, the poetry and the suggestions for using the ideas have enabled me to pray better and to relate the prayer to everyday life. It's not a book that will be read quickly, but it will be a companion for me on my spiritual journey for some time.
