The Blessed Virgin Mary is the humane mother of our Savior. She is our great intercessor. She is the ideal woman who is an epitome of good moral values with indescribable endowment and all-encompassing qualities of ideal mother. The book captures the unequaled intrinsic and extrinsic spectacular qualities of the immaculate mother which radiate beyond reproach as made manifest in her sinless and ever virgin nature, thus her body suffered no decay.Mother Mary, as revealed in the book, is an embodiment of unparalleled example of ideal mother and woman as enumerated in her litany. What is more is her pondering character which culminated in her subtle and soothing words made evident in the wedding in Cana. We imagine her behold the torture and shameful treatment given to her Son on the way to Calvary, and eventually to the grave for no atom of sin. For any woman and mother, this is the highest point of grieve, the hardest nut to crack and the swallowing of a bone with sharp ends at all joints. In all these, she remained resolute to the will of God. Mary immaculate in this text is a woman of honour. Here is a divine example of a woman in leadership, a salvage of woman integrity in whom God encoded all virtues. Mary the Mother of God is therefore, worthy of emulation by any positive thinking and meaningful mother, wife and girl child who is aspiring to possess the earth and commune with the saints. In my research on woman in authority/governance in Igbo land, the people attested that good mothers inoculate good morals, norms and values in the family and society at large. They are only the vehicle, through which life is brought into. This is because; only ideal mothers embark on tough journeys with their families, societies and the Church even to crucifixion as Mary did. Little wonder "the tender care of a woman" as revealed in the text "ceases not to a child she bears". In the Bible, we are informed that Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit had said of Mary, "Of all women, you are the most blessed'' (Lk1:42). And the Blessed Virgin Mary inspired by the same Holy Spirit had responded and sang to God in thanksgiving "Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed"(Lk1:48) Hence, our mission in this reflection is to present anew our most blessed woman, who, of all women, in all generations, has reached the pinnacle of womanhood and motherhood. She remains the model that every woman and mother should look up to and emulate her exemplary life; demonstrated in the family, in the Church and in the society. Actually, we are experiencing in our time, to some regrettable extent, the degrading and debasing of the dignity and identity of womanhood. And with the current confusion of values, the beauty of womanhood is today evaluated by the standards of mere externality, at times giving way to the promotion of nudity through the so called beauty contests and fashion parades of our time. There is more lasting beauty. It involves moral beauty, spiritual beauty, intellectual beauty and lastly, physical beauty. Interestingly, the personality of the Blessed Virgin Mary encompasses all these. And the powers and glories of womanhood lie in discovering and applying these beautiful moral, spiritual, intellectual and physical qualities of the blessed woman, virgin and mother in the affairs of today's woman, in the family, Church and state.Viewed from these all inclusive angles, the movie stars, worldly celebrities, political figures fall short of standard as ideal model for every woman; the Blessed Virgin Mary wins the contest. Thus promoting her qualities, virtues and lifestyle is promoting a perfect culture of morality, piety, wisdom and all round progressiveness and culture of life. This will in turn gradually dethrone the rampant culture of vices, a culture of death experienced in the life of most of today's women Enjoy reading a faith-strengthening, instructive and inspiring book on our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary!

Once, the Virgin Mary was a pivotal element of Christianity, a holy figure at the heart of most Christians’ spiritual lives. She was invoked at all major life passages—baptisms, weddings, childbirths, and funerals—and images of the Virgin Mary could be found virtually anywhere, from pub signs to sacred texts. Medieval women especially looked to Mary to answer their prayers, be their role model, and serve as their advocate in heaven. They prayed to her several times a day and sometimes devoted their entire lives to her service. This book investigates perceptions of the Virgin Mary through several centuries of literature. Focusing especially on the depictions of the Virgin Mary in medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, the author rediscovers a time when the Divine Female was very much in evidence, and good Christian women were taught to pray to a Holy Mother. Topics include the cyclical popularity of Virgin Mary; devotional objects such as Books of Hours, rosaries, and Marian gardens; the mystical qualities attributed to the Virgin Mary through centuries of reported divine visions; the historical relationships between the Virgin Mary and other religious figures, including the Devil; and Mary Magdalene as an alternative to the Virgin Mary as a feminine model.

With his characteristic eloquence and brilliance, Fulton J. Sheen presents a moving portrayal of the Blessed Virgin Mary that combines deep spirituality with history, philosophy and theology.

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.

Cunneen's search for Mary is in the spirit of the best of the various historical Jesus quests. She is concerned with a contemporary, living symbol; a history of interpretation that reaches beyond the boundaries of Christianity; and a particular woman whose particular life in Roman-occupied Palestine is poorly documented. The paradox of intense memory and meager documentation fuels Cunneen's careful sifting of historical evidence. Maintaining a lively, conversational tone, the narrative is chronological, moving from Miriam of Nazareth--the Mary of the New Testament--through her transformation in the Greco-Roman church; her emergence as theotokos ('god bearer' ); her enshrinement in an extended, then broken, family; and finally to 'icon of human possibility.' This engaging study, accessible to general as well as scholarly audiences, provides a much-needed context for the growing body of material on Mary. - Steve Schroeder-

Hail Mary? examines the sexist and misogynist themes that underlie the socially constructed religious imagery of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Maurice Hamington explores the sources for three prominent Marian images: Mary as the "the blessed Virgin," Mary, the "Mediatrix"; and Mary, "the second Eve." Hamington critiques these images for the valorization of sexist forces with the Catholic Church that serve to maintain systems of oppression against women. In challenging dominant, religious representations of Mary, Hamington surveys a variety of emerging reinterpretations of Mary. He then provides a framework for further study of "non-alienating" images of Mary.

Anne Catherine Emmerich and Ven. Mary of Agreda, it also includes many episodes described in the writings of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schenau.

For young and old alike, The Life of Mary As Seen by the Mystics will forever impress the reader with an inspiring and truly unforgettable understanding of the otherwise unknown facts concerning Mary and the Holy Family.
