In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Fr. Dennis Billy, CSsR, on his books about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus (December 20, 2024)
Our Sorrowful Mother: Meditations on Mary’s Seven Dolorsby Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.This book is a series of imaginative meditations on what Catholic devotional literature refers to as “The Seven Dolors of Mary,” seven moments in Our Blessed Mother’s life that brought her great pain and suffering. These meditations are reflections on passages from Scripture that put Mary in close contact with the sufferings of Our Lord and, in doing so, seek to place the reader in the same place with them. This work of devotion seeks to deepen the reader’s Catholic identity by pointing to Mary, the Mother of Our Lord, and showing us that she is also Our Mother, someone who weeps and mourns over our own pain and suffering, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, or social.

Joseph of Nazareth: Icon of the Father’s Loveby Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.This book is about a humble, courageous man named Joseph who played a pivotal role in the story of our redemption and about whom the Gospels say so very little. It is a series of meditations about this obscure member of the house of David who listened to God in the quiet of his heart and the silence of his dreams, a man who followed God’s will even though according to the Law he had every right to do otherwise. Through these pages, the author hopes to help readers see Joseph as a living icon of the Father’s love.

Worshiping the Sacramental Christby Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.The purpose of this book is to alert us to the multidimensional aspects of our Eucharistic worship and to help us see how this sacrament engages the whole person and the entire People of God. It seeks to open our minds and hearts to the sacrament as the worship of the whole Church. It maintains that the human person is a microcosm of the Church and that the various dimensions of our human makeup that we find within ourselves are also present in Christ’s Mystical Body—if we only have eyes to see and ears to hear.
