Book description
How did Mary, filled with grace since her conception, live her life in
the Holy Spirit? How can she teach us to do the same? Popular author Fr.
George Montague, a Marianist priest and a highly respected biblical
scholar who has been involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal since
1970, is uniquely qualified to address this topic. In short meditations,
Fr. Montague focuses on various aspects of Mary's life and the Spirit's
involvement in each of them. He also reflects on her collaboration with
the Spirit in building up the Church as well as her various apparitions.
Stories and examples of modern-day believers show us concretely how Mary
can influence our own spiritual lives and deepen our own experience of
the Spirit.
--Readers will enjoy the author's clear and engaging writing as well as
the depth of his reflections.
--Each meditation ends with a prayer, helping the reader integrate the
reflections into his or her own prayer life.
--Makes a great gift. “Many Catholics relate warmly to Mary but not
nearly so quickly to the Holy Spirit. In this book, Fr. Montague writes
in a beautiful way about the cooperation between the Third Person of the
Blessed Trinity and our dear Blessed Mother. He offers a clear
understanding of how greatly we can benefit from personally knowing both
the Holy Spirit and that sublimely holy woman-a dual knowledge well
worth possessing!” Fr. George T. Montague, SM, is a Marianist priest
known internationally for his numerous books on Scripture and
spirituality, including the best-selling Holy Spirit: Make Your Home
in Me
(The Word Among Us Press, 2008). He is a former president of the
Catholic Biblical Association of America and has served as editor of the
Catholic Biblical Quarterly. A popular speaker, he has been involved in
the Catholic Charismatic Renewal since 1970, and is professor of
biblical theology at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas.
