Marian Thoughts: Selection of Texts

This selection of 100 distinct Marian thoughts by Pope Benedict XVI is drawn from a variety of sources, including homilies, addresses, and the encyclical "Deus Caritas Est (God Is Love)." The Holy Father's reflections cover the significant moments in the life of Our Lady: the Annunciation, the Vistiation, her "Magnificat," the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus on the Cross, Pentecost, and the Assumption. The Pope reflects also on Mary as a disciple of Jesus and on Marian devotion. This beautifully expressive volume concludes with several prayers to the Blessed Mother of Jesus and our Mother.
