Published on the Solemnity of the Annunciation in 1987, Redemptoris Mater celebrates Mary as a model of faith and explores her maternal mediation in the life of the Church. In this moving encyclical, Pope John Paul II considers Mary's unwavering faith, meditates on her unique role in God's salvific plan, and inspires the faithful to emulate her in their daily life. This expanded 25th Anniversary Edition includes the complete text of Redemptoris Mater with commentary by Marian expert Sister M. Jean Frisk, SSM. Her insightful commentary illuminates central points and unpacks difficult concepts, making the language of this papal document more accessible. Reflection questions, ideas to ponder, prayers, and proposals for living the message of this encyclical make this anniversary edition well-suited for personal and group study.

A member of the Secular Institute of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, M. Jean Frisk holds a licentiate in Sacred Theology from the Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute. Her research explores how we teach about Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in catechetical texts and media resources. She has authored award-winning texts on various aspects of Marian spirituality, is a textbook consultant, and teaches Marian catechesis at the International Marian Research Institute where she also oversees the maintenance of Marian art and a vast collection of nativities.
As someone who grew up Southern Baptist and converted to Catholicism, Mary was always my biggest stumbling block. I've read many books on her and I don't doubt her importance in salvation history, but I am still working on developing a more personal relationship with her. I believe it will come in time, and I believe I am making progress, but it is slow going, but the best things in life usually are. The words of Pope John Paul II on Mary show a great devotion and love for her and have helped me inch closer in my relationship with her. If you would like to read the words of a great saint on an even greater saint, then I recommend you pick up a copy of Mother of the Redeemer.
