The other two volumes that were released at the same time are Stations of the Cross and Prayers Before The Eucharist. The first was a reprint in new format, and this is a new volume. It is drawn from four different volumes published between 1900 and 1909. The books the selections are drawn from are:\r\n\r\nEssay on the Development of Doctrine\r\nDifficulties of Anglicans\r\nParochial and Plain Sermons, \r\nMeditations and Devotions\r\n\r\nThe chapters are:\r\nMary The Mother Of God\r\nMary, The Second Eve\r\nEver-Virgin\r\nThe Dignity Of Mary\r\nSanctity Of Mary\r\nThe Immaculate Conception\r\nThe Assumption\r\nIntercessory Power Of The Blessed Virgin\r\nDevotion To The Blessed Virgin\r\n\r\nWith the Canonization of John Henry Cardinal Newman in 2019 there has been a great resurgence of interest in him and his works. And these new volumes from Tan are excellent. We are tol in the introduction:\r\n\r\n“Apart from the Papacy, devotion to Mary is perhaps the greatest stumbling block for the majority of Protestants. Yet, Newman had already developed a devotion to Mary and a defense of some Catholic doctrines on the subject even while he was still a Protestant.”\r\n\r\nAnd also \r\n\r\n“His acceptance of the Incarnation is the most important for his developing views on Mary. Christ became incarnate in time through a woman—who was this woman? Could she really be an insignificant figure? Moreover, as a student of history, Newman was well aware of early Christological controversies and early heresies in regard to the Incarnation. He was able to see clearly that they all received their death-blow when the Council of Ephesus had declared her to be Theotokos—Mother of God.”\r\n\r\nAnd finally:\r\n\r\n“As his Marian doctrine and devotion grew, Newman ran up against a great road-block. In general, as the Tractarian controversy raged, and he was dissatisfied with the rejection of what he saw as historic Christianity by his own Church. He began to have a greater love, even longing for Rome, the mother of English Christianity. He felt, however, that whereas he had a logical, dogmatic based view of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Catholics went too far and said too much. Time, reading and prayer, however, would convince him otherwise,”\r\n\r\nThis volume is compiled from a mix of letters, sermons, meditations, essays, and other works. It is a wonderful collection. It is a volume I have read and will read again. Each chapter is made up from several entries of the various formats. It is a great read for a wide audience. If you already have a devotion to Mary, it will help you understand her better. If you wonder what all the fuss about Mary is, it will make that clear. I am very grateful to have read this book during Holy Saturday this year. It is a volume I have read and will read again. The introduction ended with these words:\r\n\r\n“In honor of his canonization, this present volume draws together Newman’s Marian writings into an anthology, and organizes them topically. We have drawn both from works that are doctrinal and apologetic, as well as devotional meditations, so as to show both sides of Newman’s character. On the one hand, his profoundly logical, deep, and intellectual bearing, and on the other, the profound love that permeated his heart. Together, they show the great depths of Marian doctrine from the Church’s treasury with which Newman has so powerfully permeated his own pages. In some places we have made minor edits for archaic language, as well as to tailor the readings for the purpose of this anthology.”\r\n\r\nAnd it delivers on that goal. Another excellent volume. And one well worth picking up. ","date":"Dec 26th 2023"},{"name":"Linda R.","rating":"5","title":"Meditations on Mary Our Mother","text":"There are no visual portraits or statues in this book.

Most Catholics who know anything at all about Saint John Henry Newman are familiar with his journey from Anglicanism to Rome. What may surprise them is the key role that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary played in that conversion.
Apart from the Papacy, devotion to Mary is perhaps the greatest stumbling block for the majority of Protestants. Yet, Newman had already developed a devotion to Mary and a defense of some Catholic doctrines on the subject even while he was still a Protestant.
Newman’s journey to the Church can said to have been guided by Our Lady, toward the kindly light which he was to rest in.
In honor of his canonization, this volume draws together Newman’s Marian writings into an anthology of this new saint’s profound writings on our Lady. Some are doctrinal or apologetic, while others are deeply devotional meditations. These two approaches not only show two sides of Saint John Henry Newman’s character, they will increase your own love and devotion to Our Lady. They illuminate the great depths of Marian doctrine from the Church’s treasury with which Newman has so powerfully permeated his own pages and cause us to go to her for aid.
