WALK THROUGH THE GOSPELS WITH THE MOTHER OF GOD
"Behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty, hath done great things to me." - Luke 1:48-49
The Gospels reveal the Blessed Virgin at the central mysteries of Christ's earthly life: receiving the message of the Incarnation, visiting St. Elizabeth, bringing the Saviour into the world, presenting Him in the Temple, seeking Him in sorrow, interceding at Cana and remaining faithful beneath the Cross.
In The Blessed Virgin According to the Gospels, Fr. Marin de Boylesve, S.J. (1813-1892), offers thirty-one meditations on the life, virtues and spiritual greatness of the Mother of God as presented in Sacred Scripture.
Written as a Month of Mary, each reading provides a clear and accessible biblical reflection suitable for personal meditation, family reading or daily spiritual study. The collection may be used during May, but it is equally appropriate for March and the Annunciation, August and the Assumption, October and the Holy Rosary, December and the Immaculate Conception and Nativity-or at any time of the year.
Rather than treating Marian devotion as something separated from Scripture, Fr. de Boylesve leads the reader back to the Gospel events themselves, revealing Mary's faith, humility, obedience, charity, suffering and union with her Divine Son.
