Mary's House


Book Description

In the closing years of the 19th century, one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time was kept a secret, because nobody believed that an obscure French priest could possibly have found the house of the Virgin Mary. With full-color illustrations, "Mary's House" traces the history of a pile of sacred, forgotten stones that provide, for the first time, precious clues to the life Mary lived after the Crucifixion.




Lighting Mary's House


Book Description

In a dark corner of a neglected old house huddles the shadowy figure of a young girl. Painful memories and loneliness consume her thoughts as tears flow from despondent eyes. Oh, how she longs for the joy and peace that others seem to possess yet these joys never invade her reality. Instead she is left alone to fend for herself and meet her own needs as best she can. "This is a book that anyone can understand but the message is powerful and life changing. I've used it with many people in my practice and found it to be extremely helpful." Dr. Sallee DeGarmo, clinical psychologist and director of Family Life and Christian Women's Center, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 "After reading Lighting Mary’s House I was overwhelmed with the possibilities for healing. Many doors can be opened to the brokenhearted with this book. I recommend it to all my Post-Abortion Groups." Joan Phillips, Facilitator of PACE support groups and former Coordinator of Focus on the Family's Crisis Pregnancy Center Ministry "Lighting Mary's House has become a very important tool in my ministry for those who have been broken or abused. It is truly a walk through the innermost being of the wounded heart. It's been deeply enlightening to everyone I have given it to in my practice." LuAnn Finnegan, pastoral counselor and former Director of Women's Ministries for New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado




The Life of Sr. Marie de Mandat-Grancey and Mary's House in Ephesus


Book Description

The Life of Sr. Marie de Mandat-Grancey and Mary's House in Ephesus tells the story of a faith-filled woman's life of service and her quest to discover the house of the Blessed Virgin in Ephesus. Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey, a Daughter of Charity, responded to God's call and dedicated her life to find Christ, the Word made Flesh, in service to the poor. The first twenty-five years of her ministry were spent caring for the homebound, educating children, accompanying youth in their spiritual journey, and finding families for orphans. In 1886, Sister Marie was sent to Smyrna, near Ephesus, Turkey, where she entered a world very different from her own. While serving in the hospital there, Sister Marie read and shared with her own Sisters and the local Vincentian priests The Life of the Blessed Virgin, by Anne Catherine Emmerich, which recorded the events of Mary's last years spent in Ephesus in a house built for her by St. John. Because of Sister Marie's great devotion to the Blessed Mother, she was determined to find this sacred spot. Through collaboration with her Vincentian brothers, local Muslim guides, and the people of the area, Mary's house was found; but the discovery was just the beginning. Once rebuilt, Mary's house became a place where Muslims and Christians assembled in peace side by side as they came to honor Mary. The Life of Sr. Marie de Mandat-Grancey and Mary's House in Ephesus will inspire readers with the remarkable story of a faith-filled woman's life and her quest to discover the house of the Blessed Virgin in Ephesus.

Mary in the Middle Ages


Book Description

In his book Mary and the Fathers of the Church, Fr. Luigi Gambero presented a comprehensive survey of Marian doctrine and devotion during the first eight Christian centuries. Mary in the Middle Ages continues this journey up to the end of the fifteenth century, surveying the growth of Marian doctrine and devotion during one of the most important eras of Christian history: the Middle Ages. Fr. Gambero presents the thoughts, words, and prayers of great theologians, bishops, monks, and mystics who witnessed to and promoted the dedication of the Christian people to the Mother of God. Each chapter concludes with readings from the works of these important authors. Many of these texts have never before been translated into English. More than thirty great figures each receive an entire chapter, including such giants as the St. Anselm, St. Bernard, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Bonaventure, St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Brigid of Sweden, and Raymond Lull. "A fascinating picture of one of the foundational elements of modern Catholic theology, namely, devotion. All in all, a worthwhile and informative study of devotion to the Blessed Virgin." -Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R. "This book is indispensable for current students of Mariology." -Kenneth Baker, S.J.
