Download or read book Moved by Mary written by Willy Jansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgin Mary continues to attract devotees to her images and shrines. In Moved by Mary, anthropologists, geographers and historians explore how people and groups around the world identify and join with Mary in their struggle against social injustice, and how others mobilize Mary to impose ideas and rules and legitimize acts of violence and suppression. Far from an outdated practice of little relevance to the modern world, Marian pilgrimage expresses the deep and urgent concerns of a wide range of people. With examples of Marian pilgrimages from all over the world, Moved by Mary explores the ways in which men and women of different ages and religious, political, social-economic and ethnic backgrounds empower themselves to deal with modern-day issues with Mary ́s help. The ethnographic cases reveal the cultural and devotional variation of Marian pilgrimage, but also global similarities. Collectively, the contributors to Moved by Mary show how in many places religion dramatically suffuses everyday life.
Download or read book The Blessed Virgin Mary in England written by Anthony Josemaria, FTI and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "O Blessed Confidence, O Safe Refuge, Mother of God and Our Mother!" St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033?1109), Doctor of the Church "What is not generally known and only infrequently studied is the role of Our Lady over the centuries as a catechist: teacher of the faith, in a very real sense, primary teacher because she is Mother of God and Mother of the Church and faithful If any one factor might be singled out for the very high level of faith and religious practice in medieval 'merry England' (merry, because Mary's dowry, because consecrated to Mary as her possession and property) it is this Marian catechesis. Only when England deliberately rejected Mary did it cease to be the happy place it once was. Unfortunately, English colonization of other peoples took place only after the repudiation of Mary by England. That is why this catechetical work is especially valuable for the faithful and those who are seeking faith in America and other English speaking cultures. It will bring to their attention precisely what is central to catechetics and so often missing, the presence of Mary, Mother and Teacher. It will make perfectly clear why we need not fewer Marian sanctuaries, but many, many more in all parts of the country where this quiet, but so real and profound influence of the Marian principle of the Church will be felt at every level. It is my prayer and hope that those who read and study this work will find the same inspiration and stimulus that I found in having the privilege to read the manuscript before publication. We are much indebted to Brother Anthony Josemaria Pasquale, a Franciscan Tertiary of the Immaculate and gifted scholar, for the effort he has expended to find qualified contributors and to offer so well edited a book to the general public." -From the Foreword by Father Peter M. Fehlner, FI, theologian, sponsor of the International Symposium on Marian Coredemption

Download or read book Marian Shrines of Italy written by Francis Mary Kalvelage and published by Academy of the Immaculate. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During this Jubilee year there will be many millions world-wide going on pilgrimages to special designated shrines to gain the Jubilee Indulgence. It is estimated that there will be millions of pilgrims converging on Italy during this Jubilee year. There are over 1500 Marian Shrines in Italy, which account for 85% of all their shrines. Marian Shrines in Italy is both timely and informative. Anyone reading this book during this Jubilee year will have a greater appreciation of what it means to be Catholic, and to be Catholic means to be Marian. The history, the culture, the great masterpieces of Italy, and above all the Faith that inspired the building of these great Marian Shrines can not help but to make one proud of being a member of the Holy, Roman, Catholic Faith. The book has over 40, well illustrated chapters on the Marian shrines. Each inspiring story shows dramatically how Mary has helped her children both collectively and individually, visibly shown at her shrines through the many thousands of ex-voto offering for favors received. The chapters vary from apparitions of Our Lady which motivated the building of a shrine where many graces and miracles have been recorded and documented. Other topics include; a Basilica built on a plot of ground marked off by snow in the hottest month of the year in Rome; the Holy House of Mary in Nazareth appearing in Loreto, Italy; a beautiful Icon of Our Lady on a piece of heavy slate floating from an overflowing well; the building of a whole city around a basilica in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary constructed by a lawyer who was a former Satanist priest, and more.

Download or read book American Patroness written by Katherine Dugan and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital collection of interdisciplinary essays that illuminates the significance of Marian shrines and promises to teach scholars how to “read” them for decades to come. American Patroness: Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism is a collection of twelve essays that examine the historical and contemporary roles of Marian shrines in US Catholicism. The essays in this collection use historical, ethnographic, and comparative methods to explore how Catholics have used Marian devotion to make an imprint on the physical and religious landscape of the United States. Using the dynamic malleability of Marian shrines as a starting place for studying US Catholicism, each chapter reconsiders the American religious landscape from the perspective of a single shrine to Mary and asks: What does this shrine reveal about US Catholicism and about American religion? Each of the contributors in American Patroness examines why and how Marian shrines persist in the twenty-first century and subsequently uses that examination to re-read contemporary US Catholicism. Because shrines are not neutral spaces—they reflect and shape the elastic yet strict boundaries of what counts as Catholic identity, and who controls prayer practices—the studies in this collection also shed light on the contested dynamics of these holy sites. American Patroness demonstrates that Marian shrines continue to be places where an American Catholic identity is continuously worked on, negotiations about power occur, and Marian relationships are fostered and nurtured in spaces that are simultaneously public and intimate.

Download or read book True Devotion to Mary Illustrated written by Louis de Montfort and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is one of the greatest and most celebrated books ever written about Our Lady. Praised by popes, mystics and theologians, this profound and powerful book presents Mary as the essential and infallible key to the heart of Jesus. Nowhere will you find a deeper and more life-changing book on that quintessentially Catholic doctrine: the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the Christian and the life of the Church. Unpublished during the saint s life time, it has enjoyed the endorsement of the many outstanding popes the Church has been blessed with since its discovery in 1842. John Paul II, in particular, was its tireless champion, crediting True Devotion with a turning-point in his spiritual life, adopting his motto, Totus tuus, from St. Louis. The key to De Montfort s Marian spirituality is that he considered Our Lady to be the infallible and chosen gate to the heart of Christ To Jesus through Mary: it is Christ Himself Who is at the center of True Devotion.
