She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia.Much of what Our Lady of Fatima sai... View More...
The most Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated by many followers of Jesus Christ as an important part of their practice of the faith. Believing that she is the Mother of God because her Son, Jesus Christ, is the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity who for our salvation took on human nature, Christians of both East and West honor Mary in names of persons, places, associations, religious congregations, and shrines that attract pilgrims.

A masterpiece that combines the visions of four great Catholic mystics into one coherent story on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Based primarily on the famous revelations of Ven.

Protestants tend to think of the Virgin Mary as a bit player in the first Christmas pageant; as a young Jewish peasant girl who quickly fades into the background of the Gospel story; as an incidental participant in the incarnation; and as an example of Christian obedience and womanly submission; and see no evidence in the scriptures to convince them otherwise. I know this, because this is how I was brought up in the faith. After years of study, and based on Sacred Scripture, I have been forced to accept certain Marian doctrines that initially made me uncomfortable. Since originality in theolog... View More...

The amazing story contained here is related by Dr. Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), a winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1912 for his advances in surgical technique repairing ruptured blood vessels. In 1902, the brilliant agnostic Carrel was present at Lourdes (the need for physicians there being acute) and attended a young woman named Marie-Louise Bailly, who was dying of tubercular peritonitis. Carrel kept constant, meticulous notes of her condition on her way to the grotto at Lourdes, during her ablution with the water from the grotto, and afterwards. What occurred was an almost immediate ... View More...
