By Dr. Kathleen M. Murphy

These reflections unravel the stories of women who accompanied Jesus during his last days and were there as he endured his agony and death on the cross. What are their stories? Some are well known, like Mary Magdalene and Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Each reflection is well-researched, yet easily readable and thought-provoking. They show how much we know about these women and what they have to share.

Each chapter ends with engaging questions that will help the reader be open to experience the healing, the mercy, and the compassion of Christ that comes only from the knowledge of the risen Jesus and the joy of Easter.
