Jesus and Mary: Finding Our Sacred Center

Both parts of this book, the homily on Mary and the journal of Henri Nouwen's pilgrimage to Lourdes,deal with his insights into his relationship with Jesus and Mary. Mary is his "gentle guide" who takes him by the hand and leads him into deeper union with her son. Nouwen invites us to find our inner child and rid ourselves of the "false adulthood" of our times.
