The Virtues of Mary
SKU AIB-VM2012
Price: $5.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION
This book is a very clear and inspiring study of the virtues of Our Lady by Fr. Luigi Lanzoni.
Over the past century or so, we have become accustomed to biographies of Our Lady which approximate, as much as possible, the hagiographical bias of our times: to stress what Mary has in common with the ordinary person rather than what makes her unique as a person: her all-holiness, her all-blessedness. This is exactly the point of reference for the ancient biographies of Mary: to illustrate her virtues above all. When we imitate Mary’s virtues, we become holy like her.

The Air We Breathe
SKU AIB-AWB039
Price: $5.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION
An easy and interesting read for those who are looking for an introduction to Catherine de Hueck Doherty’s writings on Our Lady and who want to grow closer to Our Lady in our daily life and struggles.
This image of Our Lady—the air we breathe—truly is the heart of the matter in Catherine de Hueck Doherty’s Mariology. For her, Mary was as self-evident, omnipresent, intimate, and necessary as air.
The image is taken from Gerard Manley Hopkin’s poem, “The Blessed Virgin compared to the Air we Breathe.”2 There, Mary is so present to the life of the believer that “men are meant to share her life as life does air.” This sharing of Mary’s life enables Christ to make of us “new Nazareths… where she shall yet conceive… new Bethlehems, and he born.”

Do You Know Our Lady
SKU AIB-DY005
Price: $5.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION
An abbreviated outline on the mysteries of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the Sacred Scripture and in the perspectives of Fr. Stefano's "Biblical Mariology."
This excellent, handy treatise (125 pages) covers the rich and profound references to Mary, as prefigured in the Old Testament women and prophecies and as found in the New Testament, at the momentous events of Salvation History, from the Annunciation to Pentecost. In keeping with the Church's long tradition of placing Mary's role in the center, beside her Divine Son, through legitimate Scriptural interpretation, the author demonstrates a number of times how Scripture supports Mary's role as Mediatrix of All Graces. The coverage of the historicity of the Infancy Narratives in the Gospel is particularly good in answering Scriptural scholars who attempt to discredit what the Church has always held as historically true.
