Prayingwith the Saintsto God Our Mother
Book Description
Discover a profound spiritual dimension that has quietly existed within Christian tradition for centuries. Daniel F. Stramara Jr. unveils the maternal aspects of the Divine through an extraordinary collection of sacred texts that illuminate God's nurturing, feminine qualities.
This comprehensive spiritual resource draws from more than 150 scriptural passages, carefully examined in their original biblical languages and ancient translations. These texts reveal the tender, life-giving nature of God that speaks to the heart with maternal warmth and compassion. Beyond scripture, the author presents insights from five Ecumenical Councils, thirty-three Doctors of the Church, thirty-six Church Fathers, and seventy-one saints spanning every century of Christian history.
What emerges is a rich tapestry of feminine imagery that has been present in Christian spirituality throughout the ages, waiting to be rediscovered. Stramara transforms scholarly research into accessible prayer and meditation, creating an inviting format for readers seeking deeper spiritual connection.
Whether you are exploring contemplative prayer, seeking fresh perspectives on the Divine, or yearning for a more complete understanding of God's nature, this work offers a pathway to encounter the maternal face of the Sacred. The book serves as both a devotional guide and a reference work, providing Christians across all traditions with tools for enriched prayer and spiritual reflection.
