Compendium of the Marian Devotions
She is the most venerated woman in history. Cathedrals rise in her honor. Schools, cities, and religious orders bear her name. Apparitions have captured the world’s attention, and countless miracles are linked to her intercession. For two millennia, the Church has spread devotion to the Mother of God, gathering the faithful under her maternal mantle.
In one volume, Fr. Ed Broom presents an encyclopedic tour of how Catholics, from the early Church to today, venerate the Virgin Mary. This sweeping reference clarifies the biblical and theological foundations of Marian devotion and traces the origins of the Church’s prayers, dogmas, feasts, devotions, and sacramentals. Beautifully designed and carefully written, Compendium of the Marian Devotions belongs in every Catholic home.
Readers will discover
- The theological and scriptural foundations of the four Marian dogmas that all Catholics must hold
- Old Testament typology for Mary, including why she is the New Eve and the New Ark of the Covenant
- The origins and meaning of the Rosary, the Miraculous Medal, the Brown Scapular, and other devotions and sacramentals
- The saints who advanced Marian devotion through preaching, writing, and, at times, visions
- A comprehensive resource of Marian feasts, prayers, and novenas across the liturgical year
- An introduction to Marian art, architecture, literature, and music through the centuries
Above all, Fr. Broom shows how our spiritual Mother loves us and leads every child to the Sacred Heart of her Son.

Can't wait for the other compendiums to go on sale so that I can buy multiple copies to share with friends! My library is full of Tan Books! When I was a child I used to dream about becoming a missionary. Now in my old age, I can fulfill that dream by sharing great Catholic books!!!!

Magnificent book!
This Compendium of Marian Devotions has exquisite art throughout. It is the kind of book one can read all the way through, read chapters/devotions that appeal, or just browse in no order at all. To have all of these Marian devotions in one place is a work of art in itself. This book will make a wonderful Christmas gift - or gift for any special occasion. Mary, and her Son, will be better known and loved due to this book. It is a true treasure!
