Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When the heart no longer knows what to say, where does it go?

She Carried Him as a Child in Her Arms, and in Her Dormition, He Carried Her to Life is a spiritual journey with the Mother of God for those who suffer, grieve, wait, pray, or simply do not know where to turn.

Beginning with the cry of the human heart and moving through the prayer of the Paraklesis toward the mystery of the Dormition, Fr. Jean Paul Abou Naoum invites the reader to discover Mary not as someone who takes the place of Christ, but as the Mother who continually leads us to Him.

Through Sacred Scripture, the Byzantine and Melkite spiritual tradition, prayer, reflection, and the experience of human suffering, these pages explore the mystery of consolation, intercession, hope, and the maternal presence of the Theotokos in the life of the Church.

From Cana to the Cross, from the Cross to the silence of grief, and from the Paraklesis to the Dormition, one truth quietly unfolds:

Mary carries our prayer to her Son, >This is a book for the grieving, the wounded, the lonely, the frightened, and for anyone who has ever whispered:

"Mother of God, pray with me."

It is not a journey that ends with Mary.

It is a journey with Mary to Jesus.
