The Glories of Mary

De: St. Alphonsus Liguori

Narrado por: Daniel Francis

This book was composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori during a time of criticism of Marian devotions. St. Liguori brings his considerable knowledge of Scripture and the Church Fathers to bear on the issue, showing their devoted support of the Virgin Mary. St. Liguori also includes the Marian prayers and practices that he is familiar with.

This work is divided into two main sections:

1. An explanation of the Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen), where he explains how God graced the world with Mary as a "Gate of Heaven", echoing St. Bonaventure's words, "No one can enter Heaven unless by Mary, as though through a door"
2. Discourses on various feasts that involve Mary, such as the Immaculate Conception and the Nativity

Amazing book - some technical mistakes

The book content is amazing and very edifying.

However there is a section that is repeated - it would be great if the publishers could fix that.

Helped me fall in love with Our Lady more

This book is a must read for all Christian. It contains a lot of information about our Blessed Lady. I particularly liked the examples.

Information that should be known

In my opinion. I think this book should have been read by a female. I believe books on males should be read by males. Female should be read by females. I find it hard to keep the continuity flowing remembering that it is about a female

Very beautiful

St. Alphonsus beautifully explains why the Church has so honored the Blessed Virgin, and why all Christians should venerate her and implore her help. Would definitely recommend to any Catholic looking to increase their devotion to our Lady.

Easy listening for a religious book

As the theology content is minimal and the reading is abundant in short anecdotes it lends well for an audiobook. Reader is too monotone though which atempts agains keeping attention for longer spans.
