The Better We Know Mary, the Better We Will Know Her Son
Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother is an extraordinary pilgrimage that reveals Mary’s unique role in God’s kingdom and in our lives.
Filmed on location in the Holy Land, Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother will place you in the midst of the powerful drama of her earthly life, taking you through her joys … and her sorrows.
You will learn how she works in our lives today, drawing us ever closer to her divine Son.
Seeing Mary in this way will change you forever.
Mary will become a part of your daily life, and in your daily life, you will become more like Christ.
