A Year with Mary


Book Description

“Of Mary, there is never enough!” Books about the Blessed Virgin abound, yet the words of St. Bernard of Clairvaux still ring true: “Of Mary, there is never enough!” She is a mystery that faithful Christians seek to understand more fully, an ocean “full of grace” still awaiting deeper exploration. In A Year with Mary: Daily Meditations on the Mother of God, best-selling Catholic author Paul Thigpen sets sail on that ocean, using as his map the profound insights of saints and other spiritual writers. These 365 reflections, drawn from their writings, reveal Mary’s role in God’s plan, the virtues she so perfectly models, and the rich benefits of Marian devotion. Premium Ultrasoft with two-tone sewn binding, ribbon marker and gold edges.

Contemplations and Meditations for the Feasts of the Blessed Virgin and the Saints


Book Description

The author writes: AFTER having offered to pious souls four volumes of Meditations, according to the method of St. Ignatius, on the Life and Mysteries of our Lord Jesus Christ, it seemed natural to consecrate at least one volume to the Feasts of the Blessed Virgin and the Saints. Among the latter, we have chosen first those whose devotion is the most widespread, as the Apostles, the Founders of Religious Orders, etc.; second, those who, having lived in times nearer to our own, and having sanctified theInselves in common and ordinary positions of life, seem to present models more within our reach. May these holy friends of God deign to bless this little work consecrated to their glory! Above all, may the august Virgin Mary, whom they recognise as their Queen, deign to procure for those who shall use it those graces of light and of unction which, in communicating to us the knowledge of the Christian virtues, may inspire a love of them and make their practice easy! These Meditations are suited for the Feasts of the Blessed Virgin. But persons desirous of making use of them during the month of Mary can commence with the 1st Meditation, on the Immaculate Conception, and end with the 32nd Meditation, on Our Lady of Perpetual Succour.

Contemplations and Meditations for the Feasts of the Blessed Virgin and the Saints


Book Description

St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
