Our Mother Too: Mary Embraces the World
Eric Clayton is an author, retreat giver and Deputy Director of Communications for the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the USA. He was in Ireland recently giving workshops and retreats in both the Manresa Spirituality Centre Dublin, and the Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Belfast.
Whilst here, he spoke with Pat Coyle about his children’s book, Our Mother Too: Mary Embraces the World.
The book introduces children to Mary, the mother of Jesus, through eight apparitions around the world—from Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico to Our Lady of La Vang in Vietnam and Our Lady of Lourdes in France.
In each place, Mary appears in ways that reflect local culture, showing that her love reaches every community. Eric says, “Children discover that just as Mary meets people where they are, God is present in their own families, traditions, and lives—always drawing them closer in love.”
