As Catholics, we know Mary as an intercessor, a model and witness, and a pilgrim, as one of us.  Sister Janet Schaeffler describes her as a symbol of the church, a model, the Christ-bearer to the world and the advocate of those in need.  In A Treasury of Marian Prayers, Sister Janet offers a lovely collection of prayers.  Within them is an opportunity for a renewed - or newly discovered - relationship with Mary.  Included are prayers based on Scripture, prayers recalling Mary's titles, litanies, intercessory prayer, prayers for specific needs, and hymns.
