Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his trademark warm and friendly style, popular speaker and author Fr. Andrew Apostoli shows us the important roles that Mary plays in the lives of Christian disciples. Fr. Apostoli focuses on three specific ways Mary leads us to Jesus—as mother, teacher, and advocate: --In her motherly role, she gave life to Jesus and gives life to us, her spiritual children. --In her teaching role, she shows us how to trust in God’s providential working in our own lives, just as she trusted in God when she completely abandoned herself to his will in her own life. --In her role as advocate, she has compassion on all her children as she intercedes for us. Apostoli uses numerous anecdotes and stories to engage his readers as he helps Catholics gain a deeper appreciation of Mary’s active and loving presence in their lives.

Download or read book Mary s Voice in the Gospel According to John written by Michael Pakaluk and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Light on John’s Gospel The Gospel according to John has always been recognized as different from the “synoptic” accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But what explains the difference? In this new translation and verse-byverse commentary, Michael Pakaluk suggests an answer and unlocks a twothousand-year-old mystery. Mary’s Voice in the Gospel according to John reveals the subtle but powerful influence of the Mother of Jesus on the fourth Gospel. In his dying words, Jesus committed his Mother to the care of John, the beloved disciple, who “from that hour . . . took her into his own home.” Pakaluk draws out the implications of that detail, which have been overlooked for centuries. In Mary’s remaining years on earth, what would she and John have talked about? Surely no subject was as close to their hearts as the words and deeds of Jesus. Mary’s unique perspective and intimate knowledge of her Son must have shaped the account of Jesus’ life that John would eventually compose. With the same scholarship, imagination, and fidelity that he applied to Mark’s Gospel in The Memoirs of St. Peter, Pakaluk brings out the voice of Mary in John’s, from the famous prologue about the Incarnation of the Word to the Evangelist’s closing avowal of the reliability of his account. This remarkably fresh translation and commentary will deepen your understanding of the most sublime book of the New Testament.

Download or read book Mary s Call to Prayer written by John D. Smatlak and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over multiple centuries, visionaries have reported seeing and speaking with the apparition of Mary, mother of Jesus. Nearly all of these apparition events include evidence of other miracles. Within the apparitions, Mary’s primary message is intended for all Christians to hear: the time to pray more is now. In an insightful spiritual discussion enhanced by biblical references, John Smatlak relies on the voice of Mary to directly answer many of the common questions asked by Christians such as what is important to gain eternal life and what is not? What behaviors cause a person to go to hell? Can prayer prevent war? Do we keep our earthly bodies in the afterlife? Throughout the presentation, Mary communicates clear expectations for Christians while providing a better understanding of Jesus, herself, and other supernatural beings. In perfect alignment with the Bible and Jesus, Mary expresses her deep love for people, warns of dire future events on earth, and explains how to either mitigate or avoid these events with prayer. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a valuable resource for Christians that provides twentieth century answers from heaven to many common questions while addressing the need for prayer.

Download or read book Hail Holy Queen written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for all Catholics! Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith. In The Lamb's Supper, Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message. Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king. Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.
