Description:
- First published in 1944, The Reed of God has become a spiritual classic for Catholics worldwide.
- Written by British Catholic writer and artist Caryll Houselander, the book meditates on the humanity of Mary, the Mother of God.
- Mary is depicted as a musical instrument that makes divine love known to the world, exploring her intimately human side.
- This edition offers profound reflections on Mary’s life and her role in salvation history, written before the Second Vatican Council’s renewed focus on the theology of Mary.
- The central image in the book is of a reed played for music, symbolizing how Mary made herself an instrument of God’s divine plan.
- The book is divided into four parts, reflecting on key events in Mary’s life, including her fiat, the finding of Jesus in the Temple, and her Assumption.
- Themes explored also include fruitful emptiness and the eternal search for union with God.
- This is a rich and rewarding read for Christians seeking a deeper understanding of Mary’s role in God’s plan.
