Book description
In his trademark warm and friendly style, popular speaker and author
Fr. Andrew Apostoli shows us the important roles that Mary plays in the
lives of Christian disciples. Fr. Apostoli focuses on three specific
ways Mary leads us to Jesus-as mother, teacher, and advocate:
--In her motherly role, she gave life to Jesus and gives life to us,
her spiritual children.
--In her teaching role, she shows us how to trust in God's providential
working in our own lives, just as she trusted in God when she completely
abandoned herself to his will in her own life.
--In her role as advocate, she has compassion on all her children as she
intercedes for us.
Apostoli uses numerous anecdotes and stories to engage his readers as he
helps Catholics gain a deeper appreciation of Mary's active and loving
presence in their lives. Fr. Andrew Apostoli, CFR, a member of the
community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, has been active in
teaching, preaching retreats and parish missions, and in giving
spiritual direction. The author of seven books, Fr. Andrew has produced
a number of TV series for the EWTN network. Many of his talks are
available as DVDs or audio tapes. He is currently serving as a
Vice-Postulator for the Cause of Canonization for Archbishop Fulton J.
