Catholicism in the Western world today demands real effort to turn to Our Lady in any meaningful way. The author explores the insights of other faiths - Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Islam and Judaism; and also the insights of the 'other' within the Catholic tradition - the Eastern-rite Catholics who, despite their full communion with Rome, have a distinct approach to Mary based on thir unique liturgical and spiritual tradition. Perhaps the novelty of their viewpoints on Mary can bring us to the joy of surprise about her once again, and help us to enjoy the even greater wonder of her son, Jesus.
