Behold Your Mother: Mary Stories and Reflections from a Catholic Convert

Behold Your Mother
Heidi Hess Saxton
Paperback, 80 pp., $9.99
Bezalel Books (February 20, 2008)

When she converted to Catholicism, Saxton found it difficult to “get close to Mary.” This difficulty resolved itself over time, but she never completely understood her own reluctance until she became a foster parent and experienced the children’s resistance to her parenting efforts. Behold Your Mother contains three short stories from the author’s life that illustrate Mary’s “spiritual motherhood”; then a series of forty-eight short reflections based on Scripture. This is a second, expanded edition of Saxton’s book With Mary in Prayer.
