Janice T. Connell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 9, 1997

The Blessed Virgin Mary has been a source of solace, inspiration and strength for the many who have sought her help and celebrated her divine love. Now, from the author of the bestelling Meetings with Mary, comes a beautiful treasury of many such powerful and beloved prayers. Reflecting first on the history of that tradition, this reverent collection brings these prayers into focus both in the context of their origin, and for the coming third millennium and arranges them by subject to make this volume easy to turn for specific needs. There are prayers that appeal to Mary for help in crises, for guidance in family or personal matters, for physical or emotional healing or for daily inspiration. This exquisite little gift book may also be read cover to cover for its wealth of insight into the role of Mary, the Mother of Christ, and the many gifts she brings.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate birthday present: THE GIFT OF BEAUTY!, October 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Praying with Mary: Sacred Prayers to the Blessed Mother for All Occasions (Hardcover)

This precious prayer book is of the caliber of beauty of the Cistine Chapel! Page after page of beauty within words. Prayers to help, prayers to heal, prayers to hearten one to hope, all catalogued in great detail on the title page for easy reference. This prayer book, though it looks delicate, penetrates through to the core. Its power resides in the strength of the beautiful prayers and how they are explained by the author. She draws the reader in and suddenly the reader is praying the prayers...while reading the book! The greatness of this book is its overwhealmingly powerful prayers and how they are presented. This book will be a treasure generation after generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars When things aren't going well, February 20, 2002

This review is from: Praying with Mary: Sacred Prayers to the Blessed Mother for All Occasions (Paperback)

I find this book to be a great book to keep by my bed when I am troubled. I found a copy of it in my father's belongings when he was dying. Now I read it when I have troubles in my marriage, with my children or at work. I find the tone of the book very soothing.
