Manual for Marian Devotion

Description

The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist In the school of Mary, says St. John Paul II, we are “led to contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of his love.” Mary–refuge of sinners, help of the sick, cause of our joy–is the model for all believers. Part One, “Preparing for Marian Devotion,” answers the following questions: • What is Mary’s place in God’s plan? Why is she so important? • What has the Church taught about Mary? • How has Marian devotion changed history? • How should I cultivate devotion to Mary? Part Two, “Aids for Marian Devotion,” provides these essential resources: • inspiration for Marian devotion from the Scriptures and the saints • excerpts from Church documents addressing Mary’s role • accounts of Marian miracles and messages through the ages • Marian prayers and hymns from the Church’s rich liturgical and devotional patrimony • Marian poetry The Manual for Marian Devotion is designed to be small enough to travel with you everywhere: use it to nourish your love of Mary with the Scriptures and stories of the saints, and turn to its prayers throughout the day Personalize your copy of this book maximum 20 characters
