A
LESSON FOR ALL FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
The bronze is by the late Arthur Dooley of Liverpool. It was commissioned by the Catholic clergy of the diocese of Liverpool as a gift to their then Archbishop, George Andrew Beck on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination.
I have loved this sculpture since I first saw it because it seems to me to say gracefully and simply, everything we hold dear about the example of Our Lady in being a disciple of Christ. In it's very shape and elegance it shows us the blessedness of Mary in all that she had received from the Almighty and with that, her courage in obeying the Almighty once the glow of the Annunciation had passed. Hence the words chosen from scripture.
