Book Reviews of Maria: Pope Benedict XVI on the Mother of God
Book Review: Mary our mother, Benedict our teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Catholic, I am once again proud to call Pope Benedict our(not just mine) German shepard. This wonderful theologian reminds us through the Gospels and Art in paintings and places of adoration of who and how important Mary is to us. Why God picked her and how she was instrumental with the Apostels in the formation of our comunion. His visit to the Marien shrine in the hills above Ephesus,Turkey (Mary's house), brought home to my wife and I our visit to the site three years ago. We knew it was a special place. But now I know why. And more importantly why Mary is our Mother."Women behold your son."
Summary of Maria: Pope Benedict XVI on the Mother of God
This glorious volume is a lavishly illustrated coffee-table book with dozens of inspirational and famous color paintings, sculptures and artwork of the Blessed Virgin Mary from all over the world. The beautiful pictures are accompanied by the profound writings and homilies of Pope Benedict XVI on the person of Mary, and her unique role in human history and in the plan of God for salvation history.The gorgeous paintings and artwork are from many different centuries, some very famous and others less well-known. Many of these artworks are located at popular Marian shrines that Pope Benedict has visited and honored with special events, prayers and homilies, depicted throughout this volume. Some of the famous Marian images include Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Czestochowa (the ''Black Madonna''), Queen of the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Loreto, Queen of Carmel, and many others.
Pope Benedict offers in-depth, inspirational reflections on the unique spiritual role Mary as the Mother of the Savior, showing her to be the universal ''Woman'' that Jesus calls her in the Gospels, his mother that God made the spiritual mother of all mankind. Using Biblical references of Mary as ''full of grace'' and the ''woman clothed with the sun'', Pope Benedict emphasizes that Mary's main role is to lead us to union with Jesus, to help us know and love Him much better and to be his true followers.
A lovely gift book as well as one to use for inspiring spiritual reading, meditation and reflection.
