Blessed Virgin Mary
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.

The Autobiography of St. Robert Bellarmine
Along with A guide to composing Sermons,
Sermons on the Annunciation
by St Robert Bellarmine
Bellarmine never set out to compose any writings, but always did so out of obedience. He wrote his autobiography for 2 of his brother Jesuits out of courtesy for their request to have an account of his life. Though he never intended it for any eyes but theirs, it was discovered and published in the 18th century, and became a great success. It is a brief and simple account of the life and travails of a great soul that loved Jesus Christ above all things.
Also included are St Robert Bellarmine’s Guide to Composing Sermons and evidence of this in action, his Sermons on the Annunciation given in Italy. These sermons explore the depths of the mysteries contained in the Annunciation made by the Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin, which were preached in Italy while he was a Cardinal in Rome. These explore subjects as diverse as Greek and Hebrew etymology, Angelology, Mariology and the fulfillment of the Old Covenant in Christ. The publishers have also added pictures of the places and people St. Robert mentions when relating his life.

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.

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.

by Ven. Mary of Agreda

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.

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.

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.
