Hail Mary: Pondering the Mysteries of Love

Fathers Hofer and Nolan offer us a personal retreat encouraging meditation on the prayer that draws us closer to our Blessed Mother and serves as the basis for praying the Rosary. Each chapter focuses on a part of the prayer that Saint Thérèse of Lisieux relied on when experiencing dryness in her own prayer life.

Each of the eight chapters includes:

• Selections from over 20 masterpieces of Marian art revealing the richness of Christian imagery
• A passage from Scripture
• An essay illuminating a statement or petition of the Hail Mary
• An invitation to pray slowly and thoughtfully
