General Description:
Fr. H. O'Laverty, B.A.
One of the truly remarkable Catholic books the reader
will ever encounter, The Mother of God and Her Glorious Feasts is actually more than a book about Mary, for it also gives a complete view of the Catholic way of life and is one of those rare books of facts and insight into the facts-written in a down-to-earth manner totally understandable to all-that not only reminds us of truths we have already learned about our religion, but also shows us their real and powerful meaning. Using as an outline the major feast days of Our Lady, the author recounts the Blessed Mother's role in our redemption during her own life, as well as her role in our salvation today. And he does it with a degree of competence bordering on total comprehension of Mary's exalted position with regard to us and what it really takes to save our souls.
The book covers Our Lady's Immaculate Conception, her Nativity, her Presentation, the Annunciation, her hidden life, Our Lady of Lourdes and of La Salette, the Rosary, the Blue Scapular, Our Lady of Good Counsel, of Mount Carmel, of the Blessed Sacrament and much, much more. Here are answers to questions asked about Our Lady and found in no other work: Her perfect intellect at the Immaculate Conception; the reason Our Lord allowed His Mother to suffer; why the Mother of God's bodily Assumption into Heaven gives God perfect praise; etc., etc.
Whether a beginning student in the study and love of Mary or the most advanced Marian devotee, the reader of The Mother of God and Her Glorious Feasts will enjoy in these pages a rich experience of learning about the Faith and a tremendous growth in the love of the Mother of God and the Spiritual Mother of us all-the greatest gift after the Sacraments that Our Lord has given to our sinful and otherwise lost world.
