Mary The Mother Of God
If you are devoted to Mary (or want to be) this small book offers a glimpse of Mary's life from birth through her Assumption. It also includes the major apparitions; and Marian prayers, including the Rosary and her feast days. You can spend hours reflecting on the masterpiece artwork that makes this book a special treasure.
Catholics do not worship Mary; we love her with the fierce, tender love of children for the Mother Jesus gave us from the Cross (John 19:26-27). Declared Theotokos--"God-bearer"--at the Council of Ephesus in 431, Mary safeguards the central mystery of the Incarnation: Jesus is truly God and truly man. To diminish her is to risk diminishing Him.
She is the Immaculate Conception, preserved from sin from the first instant so the Ark of the New Covenant would be spotless. Her fiat--"Let it be done"--reversed Eve's refusal and opened the door of salvation. Every Hail Mary echoes Gabriel and Elizabeth; every Rosary contemplates her Son through her eyes.
Mary is Mother of the Church and our mother. At Cana she notices empty wine jars before anyone else and quietly nudges Jesus: "They have no wine." She still notices our empty places--fear, infertility, grief, loneliness--and brings them to her Son with the same three-word plea: "Do whatever He tells you."

Features of this book:
Chapters include:
Throughout history she has appeared--Guadalupe to the native Mexican, Lourdes to the poor teenager, Fatima to three shepherd children--always pointing away from herself: "Do penance... pray the Rosary... my Immaculate Heart will triumph." Popes crown her, armies carry her banner (Lepanto), and dying saints from little Thérèse to John Paul II breathe her name last.
For two billion Catholics, Mary is the shortest, safest path to Jesus. She crushes the serpent under her heel yet cradles sinners in her mantle. In her we see what grace can do to a human soul--and what God longs to do to ours. To know Mary is to love Jesus more; to love Jesus more is to meet her waiting at the foot of every cross and the door of every heaven..
