by Brother Francis M. Kalvelage, FI
A compendium of inspiring articles on Kolbe
Of all the books in the Marian Saints and Shrines series, this one is the most controversial and thus the most needed in order to do justice to the Saint, whom Pope John Paul II spoke of as "the Saint of our difficult century [twentieth]." Is it true, as reported in a PBS documentary, that the Saint was anti-Semitic? What is the reason behind misrepresenting this great modern day Saint? Is a famous Mariologist right in accusing the Saint of being in error by holding that Mary is the Mediatrix of all Graces? The book has over 35 chapters by over ten authors, giving an in-depth view of one of the greatest Marian Saints of all times.

In addition to the three major Marian apparitions and shrines of France -- Our Lady at Rue du Bac (Paris), La Salette and Lourdes --an additional major shrine has been added, that of Pontmain. These apparitions show how the secular, godless 20th Century was being checkmated by Our Lady already in the 19th Century, introducing the present Age of Mary. This book is fascinating and informative reading, well-illustrated, with many pictures in full color.
