Description
Book SynopsisThe collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary offers more than 135 Scripture passages through which the faithful might deepen their devotion to Mary. While some texts are very familiar, others are not as well known to contemporary Catholics.
Trade ReviewHere is a beautiful work that reflects on each of the 135 biblical passages in the Lectionary that relate to Mary. Servite teacher, pastor, and chaplain David Brown performs a labor of love in putting together this helpful resource.
