Mathewes-Green opens up The Gospel of Mary to see her early life, offering a window into her centrality to the Christian Faith in new and sometimes startling ways. Christians have alternatively raised the status of the mother of Jesus to that of her Son or ignored her entirely. Behind all of the images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ.

- How did the first Christians view her?
- What were the commonly understood facts about the Blessed Mother's early life, before the Annunciation?
- How did Mary, the mother of Jesus, become the Theotokos?

This book gives some surprising insights.

In this beautiful and sublimely inspiring book, de Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which true devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life.

This new edition in the TAN Classic format includes an expanded Preparation for Total Consecration with readings and prayers. There is no better way to advance quickly in holiness, no better way to please God, and no better way to guarantee one's present sanctity and eternal salvation than the true devotion to Mary.

St. Louis de Montfort inspired a spiritual revolution in teaching us about Marian consecration and giving us a thirty-three-day plan to prepare our souls for that big step in our relationship with Jesus. In these pages, Fr. Boniface Hicks guides you through this retreat to help you gain a deeper trust in and childlike dependence on our loving God.

What this consecration teaches us is that we have a sweet, loving, perfect Mother who actually wants to live in this intense relationship with us, Fr. Boniface reflects. And so, if we accept Mary's invitation to this relationship, we will find all the healing and happiness we have always longed for.

You'll spend the first twelve days emptying yourself of the spirit of the world, followed by a week focused on self-knowledge. You'll then spend a week dedicated to knowledge of Mary before concluding the final week, centered on knowledge of Jesus.

Only ten minutes per day will produce spiritual renewal and wholehearted trust in Jesus through Mary. These short, personal chapters will show you how to:

• Allow the Blessed Mother to cherish you as a baby in her womb and rejoice in your dignity as a child of God
• Grow in patience, humility, and love (Our Lady makes it simple!)
• Deepen your faith and live out your baptismal call to holiness
• Close escape routes in your relationship with God and live in the freedom of total surrender
• Take refuge and receive consolation in Mary's protective care
• Realize that sufferings and difficulty point to the hope and final victory that await you

Fr. Boniface provides practical tips on opening your heart to God's grace and profoundly beautiful reflections that will lead your soul to intimate union with our Lord through our Lady. Each daily meditation includes a Scripture passage, related quotes from popes and saints, questions to guide you on your journey, and traditional prayers to prepare for Marian consecration.

This book affirms what St. Louis teaches us: that Mary's womb is the best place to be formed perfectly into saints and into Christ Himself. By contemplating Jesus through Mary, the first tabernacle of the Lord, your love of the Holy Eucharist will become more fervent, and your heart will be inflamed as you pray the Rosary and reflect on the mysteries of her Son.

The most highly praised, exciting, and comprehensive book on the Miraculous Medal ever written. Fr. Daniel Reehil, VF, exorcist and Director of Radio Maria, called it riveting...a must read. Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, found it fascinating, Bishop Joseph Coffey labeled it excellent, and Fr. Jose D'Souza, OFM, declared it a masterpiece.

The Miraculous Medal: Pendant of Power is an unprecedented and captivating compilation of nearly two centuries of iron-clad proof of the Medal's real power: Mary's intercession before the throne of God. It begins with the story of St. Catherine Labouré, the apostle of the Miraculous Medal, captured in a new light with little-known, intriguing facts. Then it tells how the Medal grew in fame by helping convert to Catholicism a rich, rabidly anti-Catholic Jewish agnostic connected to the Rothschild family. The book also recounts how the Medal helped save a man destined for the electric chair, and how It defeated a high wizard of Satanism, the top title granted in that malevolent world-and the head-to-head battle was no contest. The book continues to journey through time and nations, telling tales of how the Medal has battled and conquered Freemasonry, atheism, religious indifference, sickness, death, danger, and despondency.

The graces that have followed the Medal, rippling through time into the present day, have done nothing less than bring the Gospel to life. The blind see, the crippled walk, the dying come to life, and a divine hand of extraordinary, supernatural protection does the impossible-but most importantly, lost souls are brought through Mary into the Heart of Jesus Christ. Read this most inspiring book, and avail yourself now of the daily graces that that heaven has in store for you.

The world-changing appearance of Our Lady at Fatima ushered in a continuing series of remarkable apparitions worldwide that the Church has either officially approved or marked as likely-authentic. Author and Mariologist Wincenty Laszewski summarizes the powerful and urgent messages of these apparitions in this unparalleled, encyclopedic work-instantly the new standard on the subject. Most of these riveting chapters include portentous warnings - some are ominous, others more hopeful. This stunning book serves as a wake-up call to the faithful and is a worldwide clarion call to deeper prayer and conversion. It includes:

• Over 400 pages describing the fully documented miracles and visions
• Fascinating accounts by eyewitnesses, including non-believers
• 50+ maps of locations and pilgrimage sites
• Photos and illustrations: documents, events, and faces of the visionaries
• The finest works of art and reproductions of Our Lady

Each message and appearance is analyzed and quoted precisely. Their sheer abundance is enough to absorb believing Catholics-and many a skeptic-from all walks of life and reading habits. A partial listing of those described includes:

• Fatima, Portugal, 1917: The Message of Fatima
• Basel, Switzerland, 1917: Mystical Wounds

Si se reunieran los más calificados escritores, historiadores, geógrafos, arqueólogos, astrónomos, teólogos y exegetas, no podrían realizar una reconstrucción y descripción de la vida de la Santísima Virgen María más lógica, detallada y perfecta que la mostrada por la monja agustina Ana Catalina Emmerick, por medio de sus místicas contemplaciones en la presente obra.

La extraordinaria mística Catalina Emmerick, fue una humilde monja alemana, estigmatizada y visionaria, de la orden agustina que vivió en siglo XVIII. Según ella, fue predestinada por Dios para ser dotada de dones y bendiciones sobrenaturales tan especiales como ningún ser humano los ha tenido hasta ahora (salvo quizás la Virgen María).

Toda la recopilación de sus visiones sobre detalles ocultos de la vida de Jesús, María, los Apóstoles, la iglesia naciente, profetas y santos del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento; al igual que pormenores de las historias sagradas sobre los primeros libros de la Biblia, estuvieron a cargo del famoso poeta alemán Clemente Brentano, quien las reunió en varios tomos para el provecho de las almas y defensa de la fe católica, ante las graves persecuciones de la que era objeto en ese tiempo en Alemania por parte de los enemigos de la religión; e igualmente, previendo la gran apostasía que se avecinaba llegar en los albores del modernismo y de la época contemporánea.

Tan pronto Brentano culminó su obra, fue de admirable recibo por parte de los círculos intelectuales y eruditos de su época (incluyendo al gran Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) quienes quedaron impactados ante tal desborde de conocimientos culturales, religiosos, geográficos, demográficos, etc., por parte de una religiosa que nunca salió de su pueblo. En su extensa obra, la vidente relata sobre el paraíso, el purgatorio y el infierno con más exactitud que Dante en su Divina Comedia; nos narra la caída de Adán y Eva con más erudición que Milton en El Paraíso Perdido; nos descubre las artimañas del demonio con más sentido que Goethe en Fausto; nos muestra la vileza del corazón humano con más realidad que Víctor Hugo en Los Miserables; nos presenta un análisis del alma más atormentador que en las obras de Fiodor Dostoievski; en fin, nos deleita con más dulzura y emoción que los mejores poemas pastoriles y novelas idílicas de la literatura universal.

Supera en extensión y profundidad a las revelaciones de la Magna Santa Hildegarda Von Bingen, Santa Matilde, Santa Gertrudis, Teresa Neumann y otras videntes y estigmatizadas de nuestros tiempos. Confirma y complementa lo que han dicho los santos y doctores de la realidad sobrenatural al sumergirse en la contemplación de esta dimensión más allá de lo posible para la mente humana.

What went through the mind and heart of our Blessed Mother as she stood faithfully by her Son in His last agony? As a loving mother, she would have pondered every moment of His precious life and every experience she had with Him. She would have pondered His conception, His birth, His presentation in the temple, His public ministry, His passion and death and so much more.

Through this daily devotional you are invited to prayerfully ponder the mind and heart of our Blessed Mother as she endured the great suffering inflicted upon her own dear Son. Mother Mary faced the Cross of her Son with perfect faith, love and devotion. Her fidelity to her Son throughout His life was unwavering. As she stood before the Cross during those long three hours, that fidelity never ceased.

The Scriptures do not reveal much about the interior ponderings of our Blessed Mother during those three hours, but the Scriptures do reveal to us many encounters between this Mother and Son. Since the Cross was the culmination of the life of both Mother and Son, it's beautiful to bring to this moment of the Cross all the many experiences that these two shared throughout their earthly lives. It's inspiring to unite all that they did and said to this moment, since all was a preparation for this moment.

This book is helpful any time of year, especially if you find yourself facing a difficult cross in your own life. It is also perfect for Lent in that it offers 40 reflections as well as prayers that can be used throughout Lent and for Holy Week.

Would you like to meet the real Mary of Nazareth? The real Mary was an unmarried, pregnant teenage girl in first-century Palestine. She was a woman of courage, humility, spirit and resolve, and her response to the angel Gabriel shifted the tectonic plates of history.
Popular biblical scholar Scot McKnight explores the contours of Mary's life from the moment she learned of God's plan for the Messiah to the culmination of Christ's ministry on earth. Dismantling the myths and challenging our prejudices, the author introduces us to a woman who is a model for faith and who points us to her son.

A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin or True Devotion to Mary is considered the greatest book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever written and has been recommended and practiced by eight Popes. This is the original 'scrupulously faithful' translation by Reverend Frederick William Faber, D.D.. The great Marian Pope, Blessed Pope John Paul II practiced this Devotion to Mary, in his Letter to the Montfort Fathers he says:

A work destined to become a classic of Marian spirituality was published 160 years ago. St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote the Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin at the beginning of the 1700s, but the manuscript remained practically unknown for more than a century. When, almost by chance, it was at last discovered in 1842 and published in 1843, the work was an instant success, proving extraordinarily effective in spreading the true devotion to the Most Holy Virgin.

My motto; 'Totus Tuus' is inspired by the teaching of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. These two words express total belonging to Jesus through Mary: 'Tuus totus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt, ' St Louis Marie wrote, and he translates his words: 'I am all yours, and all that I have is yours, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, your most holy Mother' (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 233). This Saint's teaching has had a profound influence on the Marian devotion of many of the faithful and on my own life. It is a lived teaching of outstanding ascetic and mystical depth, expressed in a lively and passionate style that makes frequent use of images and symbols.

All our perfection, St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort writes, consists in being conformed, united and consecrated to Jesus Christ; and therefore, the most perfect of all devotions is, without any doubt, that which most perfectly conforms, unites and consecrates us to Jesus Christ. Now, Mary being the most conformed of all creatures to Jesus Christ, it follows that, of all devotions, that which most consecrates and conforms the soul to Our Lord is devotion to his holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to Mary, the more it is consecrated to Jesus. (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 120)

When we praise her, love her, honour her or give anything to her, it is God who is praised, God who is loved, God who is glorified, and it is to God that we give, through Mary and in Mary. (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 225)

Saint Louis-Marie Grignon De Montfort was a Catholic Priest and Missionary in Brittany and Vendee, France. He was born in Montfort-sur-Meu in 1673 and died in 1716. He was canonized by Pius XII in 1947. His feast day is on April 28th. He is considered one of the early proponents of the field of Mariology as it is known today, and a candidate to become

2017 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Considered by many to be one of the greatest single books of Marian spirituality ever written, Secret of Mary is St Louis de Montfort's classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ though the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beloved by countless souls, this book sums up the entire Christian life, showing a way of holiness that is short, easy, secure, and perfect--a way of life chosen by Our Lord Himself. In this book, de Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which true devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life.

It is primarily an interior practice to be carried out daily, from moment to moment, and if followed faithfully, it will help to cultivate in the individual a profound sense of holiness. In his 1987 encyclical, Redemptoris Mater the Pope cited Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort as a teacher of Marian spirituality.

The first extensive, thoroughly documented, richly illustrated account of the earthly life of the Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ. Produced by writer Grzegorz Górny and photographer Janusz Rosikon, the duo behind several bestsellers of similar major historical and illustrated works, who conducted exhaustive research and journalistic investigations to reconstruct the life and story of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Among the many locations they traveled to are Israel, Egypt, Turkey, and Italy where they met numerous scientists, historians, biblicists, and biblical archeologists to gather material and compile photographic documentation. The result of their several years of work is a thoroughly detailed, gloriously illustrated volume, condensing all the historical knowledge available about the life of Mary.

In addition to all the historical, biographical and geographic information, this book also contains inspiring theological interpretations of the described events in Mary's life. This moving, unique, and insightful work will greatly help us to become more familiar with the life and person of the Mother of God, and better understand the beauty and significance of Marian spirituality and devotion.
