by St. Louis Marie Montfort $24.95 - 631 pages - Hard Cover Montfort Publications |
The writings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort are of great interest today
for many reasons. First, because they are centered on Christ, Eternal
and Incarnate Wisdom. Second, because they focus attention on the
importance of Mary's role in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church -
a subject of renewed interest both within the Catholic Church and other
Christian Churches. Third because they embody a form of "Marian
Spirituality" thatgoes far beyond mere Marian devotion, as Pope John
Paul II pointed out in his Marian Year encyclical: St. Louis
Marie de Montfort "proposes consecration to Christ through the hands of
Mary, as an effective means for Christians to live faithfully their
baptismal commitments." Fourth, because they reflect the thinking and
pastoral experiences of a man of vision whose writings have a definite
prophetic ring relative to the latter times. They likewise reflect his
usually profound understanding of the Scriptures concerning Christ,
Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom as well as his own persoanl discovery of
Mary, the "easy, short, perfect and sure way" to obtain full possession
of Divine Wisdom in our souls. In a sense, we can say that his writings
have revolutionized the whole concept of true devotion to Mary by
presenting it as a way of life, a very special way of living out our
initial baptismal commitment to Christ, namely, with and through Mary.
His writing also reflect an intense desire to present a clear, dynamic
and convincing picture of authentic Church teaching along with
practical helps for Christian living. His motivation was unanswered: to
do ALL FOR GOD ALONE |
Mother of the Secret $9.95 - 300 pages - Soft Cover |
Out of the dark, frightening catacombs of ancient Rome and
the cold, damp caves of Palestine, the early Church arose. While fear,
persecution and death surrounded and permeated the lives of the early
Christians, the clung steadfastly to their new religion. Centuries
later, the cryptographic writings and fresco paintings discovered in
the early Christians' humble hideaways revealed much about their lives,
especially the mysterious of their faith. But one mystery of faith was
found to predominate in these historical treasures - that of profound
belief in the true presence of Jesus Christ in their greatest "Secret,"
the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Since then and over the centuries, the Catholic Church has repeatedly defined and defended this most sacred mystery. Likewise, from Eucharistic miracles to the revelations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, heaven has spoken to us about the importance of preserving and protecting the sacred truths of our faith. In Mother of the Secret, Dr. Thomas W. Petrisko traces for us the exciting history of this important part our faith. And he reveals how what was once the Church's greatest secret is about to become the cornerstone of a glorious new era, an era in which Jesus Christ will soon come to reign throughout the world in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. |
