Bøger af Alphonsus Maria de'

The Glories of Mary is five complete books in one volume. The first book explains the words of the Salve Regina, shows how God has given Mary to mankind to be the Gate of Heaven. The second book explains Our Lady s principal feasts and reveals to the reader s mind fresh truths about these mysteries. The third book explains the Seven Sorrows of Mary and shows why Our Lady s martyrdom was longer and greater than that of all other martyrs. The fourth book describes ten different virtues of Our Lady, and the fifth book gives dozens of famous prayers, meditations and devotions to her.

This inspiring book, reissued in a new translation for the modern reader, is considered to be Saint Alphonsus Liguori's best devotional work. Divided into seventeen small chapters, each preceded by prayers and intercessions, it offers practical prescriptions for living a holy life.

This classic devotional work testifies to St. Alphonsus Liguori's love of Mary and is a treasury of Marian stories and teachings, published in this edition to honor the 250th anniversary of its original publication. Alphonsus provides a phrase-by-phrase examination of the Marian hymn "Hail Holy Queen" and meditations on various Marian themes, including her major feasts, seven sorrows, virtues and practices of devotion in her honor.
