A Sourcebook about Mary
This newest addition to LTP's Sourcebook series of anthologies honours
Mary of Nazareth, mother of Jesus, mother of God and mother of the
Church. Like the other volumes in the series
A Sourcebook about Mary
gathers hymns, poetry, scripture and prayers, arranging them according
to the eight phrases of the Ave Maria, or Hail Mary, one the most
beloved of Catholic prayers. These phrases are then answered by a
section from the Magnificat, Mary's extravagant affirmation of God's
enduring love and constant care for the poor. Images from the Litany of
Loretto, an extended praise of Mary as model and disciple, grace each
section.
A Sourcebook about Mary is a
marvelous addition to any spiritual library, and it makes a wonderful
gift for anyone with a special love for Mary: mother, woman, advocate
and protector. It can be used for private prayer and devotional reading,
as well as for homily and liturgy preparation during Advent and
Christmas, and on feasts of Mary. Parents and grandparents, women and
men, priests and ministers, young and old, will all find in this
collection a treasury of praise for the first and model disciple, a
sample of the beauty of our Catholic tradition, and encouragement to
live as Mary did, proclaiming the good news of God's love for the poor
and God's thirst for justice.
Use this book in a variety of ways:-
- As a way to begin or end each day with a prayer or meditation.
- As a way to reflect on Mary as a model for Christian life.
- As a preparation for preaching on marian feasts, on discipleship and during Advent.
