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.
