Blessed Virgin Mary
by Fr Lawrence G. Lovasik
Biography of Mary, the Mother of God and our Heavenly Mother.
Paperback, 32 pages, full colour illustrations
by Caryll Houselander
First published over half a century ago, The Reed of God is a spiritual classic that deserves to be rediscovered by a whole new generation of readers. Houselander's beautiful and profound mediation depicts the intimately human side of Mary, Mother of God, as an empty reed waiting for God's music to be played through her. She shares her insightful and beautiful vision of Mary on earth, Mary among us, Mary as a confused but trusting teenager whose holiness flowered with her eternal "Yes."
Confronting the static, surreal “Madonna of the Christmas card,” Houselander provides instead an intuitive, warmly human, and approachable image of the Mother of God. Through the central image of a reed that is played for music, Houselander demonstrates how Mary chose to make herself an instrument for the divine plan, giving her inmost being to the proclamation of God’s greatness. In sharing her distinctive vision of Mary, Houselander offers the Mother of God as a model for all people seeking to be instruments of the Divine.
The essays and poems in The Reed of God also reflect on the mysteries of Mary’s life and her impact on salvation history. In the book’s four parts, Houselander explores key events of Mary’s life, including her fiat, finding Jesus in the Temple, and the Assumption, as well as the themes of fruitful emptiness and the eternal search for union with God.

Our Lady in Doctrine and Devotion
by Fr William G Most
For the first time in the history of Marian writing, here is a book that co-ordinates and integrates the dogmatic truths underlying devotion to Mary with a solid, unsentimental, and balanced application of these truths to the life of the soul.
The author lucidly demonstrates that, since God has given Mary an all-pervading place in His scheme for the redemption of man, it follows that if we wish to grow in love of God—the goal of all spiritual striving—we will give Mary a corresponding place in our soul-life.
This book shows us how to achieve such fusion of God-centered and Mary-informed spirituality. It provides a basic orientation in ascetic principles and explains the classic steps in spiritual and mystical growth, drawing always on the texts of Scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, the great commentators, and the modern papal pronouncements.
OUR LADY'S PART IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE
This is a fundamental text of Marian spirituality, for private study, for class and study-club use, for aid in spiritual direction. It is at once simple, clear, and logical, yet fortified by rich documentation and reference material. With Index and questions for discussion.

by R.G.S. with Preface by the Bishop of Salford
This gem takes the Litany of Loreto and reflects, in the form of prayers, upon EVERY petition and title of the Litany -- an easy and fruitful method of mental prayer.
First published in 1904, it has lost none of it's relevance for those who wish to meditate on the prerogatives of the Blessed Virgin, particularly those who find it hard to meditate.
Preface by Bishop Charles of Salford.

Abridged
by Ven. Mary of Agreda
A highly successful abridgment of the monumental 2,676-page, 4-volume life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as seen in mystic vision by Ven. Mary of Agreda (1602-1665), a Spanish Franciscan nun.
Overflows with enthralling information: Our Lady never appeared older than 33; she ate fruit, vegetables and fish, but no meat, though she prepared it for St. Joseph; her clothes never became soiled or worn; clothes she made for the Christ Child grew with Him; the very presence of the Christ Child cured the sick and exorcised demons and much more. Acclaimed by Popes, cardinals and theologians.

Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary
by St Bonaventure
Discover the Seraphic Doctor’s Profound Reflections on Our Blessed Mother
In Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Bonaventure, the "Seraphic Doctor," offers a profound investigation into the Blessed Virgin Mary’s distinctive role in humanity's redemption.
Originally penned as a humble tribute to Mary’s virtues and divine favour, this work illuminates the depths of her sanctity and her pivotal role in the salvation of souls. Beginning with meditations on the angelic salutation, this enduring text advances into reflections on Mary’s purity, her spiritual endowments, the layered significance and manifold meanings of her name, her singular virtues triumphing over vice, and Mary’s intimate communion with God. Each passage unveils a deeply theological and poetic homage to Mary’s sanctity, drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of early Church Fathers.
For readers eager to enrich their devotion or develop a more refined theological comprehension, Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary presents a clear and elegantly crafted window into Marian spirituality, guiding readers ever closer toward Our Blessed Mother as an exemplar of faith, virtue, and divine grace.

by St. Louis de Montfort
A short, famous classic on "true devotion to Mary"--an excellent, easy means of attaining holiness and salvation, a way followed by Popes and Saints, but also perfect for lay people. It is at least every bit as good as his True Devotion to Mary! Small but powerful--seems almost divinely inspired!
Paperback, size 6" x 3.75", 112 pages
Not only must we pray often, we must also try to imitate the virtues shown forth in the Mysteries with meditations and vocal prayer, because meditation is of little value unless made practical.

by St Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, O.F.M. Cap.
The Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate is one of Padre Pio's few published writings, penned before he was forbidden by the Church to publish or to engage in correspondence, this for fear a cult would arise around him.
Here we encounter a profound spiritual penetration into the mystery of Mary's unique and sublime role in our salvation. Though brief, it can be read over and over with great benefit since it is just as the title suggests both a meditation and a prayer on the meaning of Mary.
This booklet also contains a brief sketch of Padre Pio's life and numerous edifying pictures of this saintly stigmatist.
Paperback, 32 pages

The Mother of Sorrows is the woman of the interior life who leads us to the Master of the interior life, the Man of Sorrows. There is no better way to contemplate the passion of Christ than through the eyes of Mary, she who loved Him above everything, she who loved Him with a mother’s heart, and she who stood firmly when everyone else fled.

Including Prayers and Promises of the Seven Sorrows of Mary
by The Benedictine Convent of Clyde
“Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.'” (Luke 1:34-35).
The beautiful and spiritually enriching practice of devotion to the Sorrowful Mother will be illuminated for you in this powerfully written, pocket-sized booklet.
Although many Catholics today have forgotten about the great sorrows of Our Lady, her role as sorrowing mother grows ever more important with the increasing evils of the modern world. This booklet explains more about Our Lady’s sorrows than most Catholics will ever know. It shows you that being devoted to Mary is to grow in love for her and to obtain many special blessings for ourselves in this life and in the next—particularly, the graces that will be bestowed at the hour of our death, as we pray in the Hail Mary every day.
Based on Sacred Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the writings of the saints, this booklet outlines the four special favors promised to those who meditate on Our Lady’s tears and sorrows. Included to enrich your prayer life and deepen your devotion are many relevant prayers:
- The Stabat Mater
- The Litany of the Sorrowful Mother
- Seven prayers for the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin
- And many more!

The best prayer is the prayer of the Church. Here it is—simpler than the Breviary, but essentially the same. Pray the inspired psalms of the Holy Ghost. Around since the 8th century. Hated by heretics, loved by friends of Our Lady. Recited by Saints John Damascene, Catherine of Siena, Vincent Ferrer, Louis of France, Bridget of Sweden, and many more.

Completely re-typeset with the Latin and English text on facing pages. Angelus Press offers this beautiful edition to the faithful as an eminently readable and truly affordable format. Printed in red and black text. Gold foil stamped, black, flexible softcover with rounded corners.
