Crowned with Grace Book Cover

ABOUT THE BOOK

“May this little work serve as a humble but authentic contribution to the ultimate fulfillment of Scripture that ‘all generations will call me blessed’ (Luke 1:48).”

— From the Introduction by Dr. Mark Miravalle

 

From the Cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our mother. The Catholic Church recognizes Mary’s unique role in God’s plan for our salvation and honors her under many Marian titles.

In Crowned with Grace, you’ll encounter thirty-one titles of our Lady. Come to know Mary as Mother of God, Spiritual Vessel, Mother of the Eucharist, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Mother of the Church, Morning Star, Our Lady of Sorrows, and more.

The deeply personal author testimonies in this book also include:

  • Beautiful prayers to Mary, both traditional and original
  • Marian apparitions from around the world and their relevance today
  • How seeking Mary’s aid gives honor to Jesus and leads us closer to him
  • What the Church teaches about Mary and her role as the ever-virgin, sinless Mother of God

… and so much more.

May these stories inspire you to invoke Mary’s name, trusting that she will always hasten to your side to assist, comfort, and walk with you on your pilgrim journey to heaven.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

When St. Bernard of Clairvaux voiced his famous Marian motto, “De Maria numquam satis,” that is, “About Mary you can never say enough,” he was not being hyperbolic but rather emphatic about the true glories of the Mother of God. St. Bernard’s point is that, within the limits of creaturehood and an immaculate humanity, the sublime prerogatives of the ever-Virgin Mary simply go on and on in a seemingly endless list of honors and titles.

Since it is near impossible to convey the plenitude of Marian attributes, one fruitful method towards this noble goal is to list and expound upon her many traditional titles and devotions. Hence the great rhyme and reason for Crowned with Grace.

Each Marian title historically ascribed to Our Lady refers to a virtue of Mary, a type of Mary, a role of Mary, or devotion to Mary. Since her virtues are as numerous as her repeated good acts, this category alone stands without limit.
