Full course description

This digital experience is a book study of the McGrath Institute for Church Life's most recent publication with Ave Maria Press. Many books on the Blessed Virgin Mary tend to make her somewhat tame. She becomes a model for moms or women alone. But as St. John Paul II taught, to enter the school of Mary is to contemplate the face of Christ. This school is open to all believers. A Fierce and Tender Love: 7 Meditations on the Mary, Mother of God presents Mary as a pattern for discipleship. The book, written by Timothy P. O'Malley, takes seriously that the mystery of salvation unfolded through the revolutionary love between Jesus and Mary. Readers of this book are invited to become students in Jesus and Mary’s school of revolutionary tenderness.

In this digital book study, you'll get a chance to talk to the author through weekly live meetings and online discussion boards, and study together what it means to become members of this school of Mary. 

Live meetings with Timothy O'Malley will take place from 7:30-8:30 PM EDT on May 8th, 15th, and 22nd.
