A masterpiece that combines the visions of four great Catholic mystics into one coherent story on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Based primarily on the famous revelations of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Ven. Mary of Agreda, it also includes many episodes described in the writings of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schenau.

Book Description
The greatness of the future Saints! (“True Devotion to Mary” Series – Book 6)In his “True Devotion to Mary”, St. Louis-Marie de Montfort wrote: “The formation and the education of the great Saints who shall come at the end of the world are reserved for (Mary),” and, “I have said that this would come to pass particularly at the end of the world, and indeed presently, because the Most High with His holy Mother has to form for Himself great Saints, who shall surpass most of the other Saints in sanctity, as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs” [#47]. This timely, newly-translated book, the sixth in this series on the Marian spirituality of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, is the only one of its kind devoted to explaining this teaching of the Saint. Among other things, you will discover:• the list of signs preceding the end of the world and the coming of Christ• the remarkable resemblances between St. John the Evangelist and St. Louis-Marie• how the True Devotion is the weapon of choice in the hands of the children of the Virgin• the tactics of the devil to try to destroy the enmity God has established between the Woman and him• why to follow Mary is to follow Jesus faithfully• why the devil fears priests who live their consecration to MaryBlessed Pope John Paul II said: “It is from Montfort that I have taken my motto: “Totus tuus”. Someday I'll have to tell you Montfortians how I discovered De Montfort's “Treatise on True Devotion to Mary”, and how often I had to reread it to understand it.” Try this book series, the only one available on St. Louis-Marie's Marian spirituality, and save yourself some time.The first five books in this series on the “True Devotion to Mary” are "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God", "Consecration to the Blessed Virgin according to St. Louis de Montfort", "Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin", "To Jesus through Mary", and "Preparation for Holy Communion with Mary in the Spirit of Blessed de Montfort".

Mysteries of Mary

Author: Rev. Fr. Marie-Dominique Philippe

ISBN: 1935302779

Languages : en
Pages : 318

Book Description
The Mysteries of Mary shows how the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary is perfectly and intimately identified with that of her Son. It is both a reflection on the most profound moments in Mary's earthly life, from the Immaculate Conception to Cana to Pentecost, and a systematic approach to the doctrine of Mary's spiritual maternity. Mary is the mother of all the faithful because she educates us as a mother, showing us through her example, her life, how we must live the mysteries of faith, hope, and the growth of charity. The early mysteries of Mary's life show us unswerving faith as Mary's soul and flesh are prepared to receive Jesus in the Nativity of the Lord. Through trial, charity is rooted and grows in Mary's heart, until finally that heart is pierced in the mysteries of sorrow. At last, the hope for the resurrected Lord blossoms in glory. Having endured with her Son the agonies of Calvary, Mary most immediately and fully experiences His return to life indeed, from the first beat of His glorious heart. The mysteries of Mary's life are signs that truly point us to the saving grace of Jesus. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to imitate Mary through growth in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.

Wife, Mother and Mystic

Book Description
"When people come to examine your conduct closely, every individual must be able to convince himself that it is possible to serve God in all states and conditions of life without the performance of great exterior penances, provided only one fight vigorously against one's passions and conforms oneself in all things to the holy will of God." These words of Our Lady to Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi convey the fundamental import of this book. Wife, Mother and Mystic is the story of Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi, a woman singled out at the age of twenty-one, to receive revelations from Our Lord and the Blessed Mother, which continued until her death. Despite these miraculous gifts, she was content to fulfill her station in life as a wife, and mother of seven children. Though her spiritual wisdom was sought after by the most prominent figures, she sought first to expiate the sins of her fellow men by performing her domestic duties with the utmost love and sacrifice. Wife, Mother and Mystic chronicles the events of an extraordinary life and yet, the great lesson of this biography is not found in the extraordinary, but in this modest woman's constant, hidden striving after holiness in her most ordinary tasks.
