How Mary and Jesus are so close.
The book wonderfully relates the seven words Jesus spoke on Calvary and the only seven words of Mary that are recorded in the bible. It is inspiring in a way that it tells how Mother Mary is really close to our Saviour, such as when she said: "there is no wine" and Jesus then provide. That by praying rosary to her, she will ask to our Lord to grant our prayers.
One thing Fulton J Sheen wrote that hit me is “you never know you were asleep until you wake up; you never know the horror of sin until you get out of sin.” That’s true because we often don’t realize whether what we do is right in God’s eyes. Anyway, I encourage you to read this book because it’s very thin and light to read =)
Thanks Jess, I think the

Interesting book :)
This is a very interesting book where the author connects the seven words spoken by Mary throughout her life and the seven words spoken by Jesus before his death at the cross. I was very amazed by how the words can correlate with each other. It was also quite surprising that there are actually a lot of things we can learn about life from those words.
One that struck me is that there is actually wisdom in not knowing. It is based on Mary’s words, “How shall this be done, because I know not man?” and Jesus’ words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Sheen states that ignorance of evil can be a blessing. When we break a law that we thought meaningless, we can discover the principle behind it. So it is through failures (not knowing the correct way to do something), that we can learn to be better and to succeed.
