Madre indulgente

Walk the path from despair to peace alongside the Blessed Mother

Marge Steinhage Fenelon knows the pain, fear, hopelessness, insecurity, resentment and anger of being raised by a troubled mother. She also knows the solution: Mary.

In Forgiving Mother, Fenelon explores the ways the Blessed Virgin can provide comfort and healing.

Drawing from personal experience as well as wisdom from Church documents, Scripture, and the saints, Fenelon presents a path from despair to peace. She offers concrete steps and prayers to help you process the painful memories, emotions and fears that are rooted in your past, and tools to bring the Blessed Mother into all of them.

Part memoir, part spiritual guide, Forgiving Mother is a handbook for healing even the most deeply rooted pain. 

Forgiving Mother also features a Marian novena of healing and peace, which you can pray alongside each chapter or as a final step in the healing process. Whether you pray this novena once or again and again, you will find solace and healing in the process of prayer.

Pray through it, meditate on it, and let Mary’s love sink into your heart and soul. With the Blessed Mother’s help, you can become the whole, healed and truly cherished person you were meant to be.
