"The reader will draw strength from these meditations and a more tender and trusting love for our Heavenly Mother.
This collection of writings on the Blessed Virgin Mary by Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman is a book for both doctrinal study and devotion.
Newman sets forth the reasons for the Catholic Church's devotion to the Mother of God in this extract of his writings brought back into print after a generation of absence.
Divided into two parts, the first shows how Catholic teaching on Mary is based on the New Testament and the Fathers of the Church. The second part draws on the Litany of Loreto in explaining the doctrinal meaning behind the various attributes of the Mother of God.
