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. All the major
aspects and events of Mary's life are lovingly portrayed in
this word portrait that is a never failing source of
information, consolation and inspiration. 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.
