Book Description

Publication Date: March 3, 1999

To praise Mary is to praise the way God chose to redeem the human race.

Praying to and with the Blessed Virgin Mary is a tradition many centuries old. Throughout history we have looked to Mary for hope, solace, and guidance, and she has become the champion of the desperate, the weak, and the poor with magnificent prayers from around the world dedicated to her. Praying with Mary explores this practice, looks to the source of these prayers, them arranges them so we can easily find the very thing we are looking for, such as:

• strength in times of desperation,

• peace in times of strife,

• healing in times of suffering,

• compassion in times of sorrow, and

• love in times of isolation.

Not simply a collection of prayers to the Blessed Virgin, Praying with Mary is a wonderful reference guide designed to assist in our daily lives. This book contains helpful prayers for specific needs, such as: prayers for gratitude, prayers for daily inspiration, prayer for holiness, and prayers for God's help and divine protection. However it is used, this exquisite volume will nurture and strengthen you along the challenging journey of life.

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.

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.
