Book Description (Ignatius Press):
With his characteristic eloquence and brilliance, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen presents a moving portrayal of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which combines deep spirituality with history, philosophy, and theology. All the major aspects and events of Mary’s life are lovingly portrayed in this word portrait that is a never-failing source of information, consolation, and inspiration. Bishop Sheen also gives profound insights into all the Marian beliefs ranging from the Immaculate Conception to the Assumption to the miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.

While considering the different phases of Mary’s life, Bishop Sheen discusses various problems common to mankind of every age and reveals clearly that every problem can be resolved. He emphasizes the unique dignity, strength, and gifts of women and their ability to help heal the world’s problems. Sheen stresses mankind’s need of the Mother of God and her burning love for all her children. The great resurgence of devotion to Mary is God’s way of emphasizing the worth and dignity of every person against the false doctrines that have so confused the modern world.
