About this ebook
First published in 1944, The Reed of God is an enduring, timeless spiritual classic. Through beautiful prose and meditations, the British Catholic writer, artist, and poet Caryll Houselander depicts the intimately human side of Mary, Mother of God, as an empty reed waiting for God's music to be played through her. Lovingly bringing Our Lady down off her time-honored, ancient pedestal, Houselander shares her insightful and beautiful vision of Mary on earth, Mary among us, Mary as a confused but trusting teenager whose holiness flowered with her eternal "Yes."

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mystic Caryll Houselander focuses on the human side of Mary, mother of Jesus in this book, as she searches for the Lost Child, not with their family or friends on the road, over so many heads in large crowds teaching, as He is laid gently in the tomb. She shares Mary as an empty cup, waiting to be filled and then poured out, a reed, waiting for God's breath, and many other comparisons to medidate on. A beautiful gift with layers of insight to be unwrapped- must look at this again in the future!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5For being over 75 years old, this book is modern and feels fairly progressive (minus a few “oof—not good” moments). I only know about Catholicism from history (not a good light there) and jokes from people about being lapsed due to Catholic school, but this was actually a fascinating and beautifully written introduction to explaining their big deal with Mary.
