St. Robert Bellarmine shows you how to skyrocket your Marian apologetics and devotion faster than you ever thought possible.
When Pope Clement VIII made St. Robert a cardinal, he said: "The Church of God has not his equal in learning."
This book is a collection of St. Robert's Marian writings, taken from the sixteen enormous volumes of his Opera Omnia (Collected Works).
As a bonus, you also get previously untranslated biographical information about St. Robert, showing how he lived his own devotion to Mary.
This information has never appeared in English, even in biographies of him. So, you can't get it anywhere else. It was all translated from the Summa Aurea de Laudibus Virginis Mariae.
St. Robert gives you ready answers to attacks on the Blessed Virgin which you've likely never thought of.
His defenses of the Immaculate Conception centuries before the Church formally defined it will particularly catch your eye.
Plus, he uses texts from the Fathers of the Church which haven't been translated before, and which are now coming to light with the publication of this book.
Another bonus you get are his Marian sermons, where he gives you remarkable insights about the Blessed Virgin.
You'll enjoy his detailed explanation and defense of the Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen).
Whereas St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote about the Salve Regina from a devotional perspective, St. Robert explains it in terms of apologetics. So, you'll find his defense of the Salve Regina a welcome addition to your arsenal.
It's important to read St. Robert's Marian writings, because God wants to use you to bring souls to Himself.
That's why St. Peter said...
"But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason of that hope which is in you" (1 Pet. 3:15).
When Jesus said: "Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Mk. 1:17), He wasn't just talking to the Apostles.
That's why Pope St. Paul VI wrote...
"There reigns among men, by the hidden and benign mystery of the divine will, a supernatural solidarity whereby the sin of one harms the others just as the holiness of one also benefits the others. Thus, the Christian faithful give each other mutual help to attain their supernatural aim. Thus, while attaining their own salvation, they have also cooperated in the salvation of their brothers in the unity of the Mystical Body."
So, owning this book is a great way to help both your neighbor and yourself.
The Apostles were very far from sainthood when they met Jesus.
Yet, despite their obvious shortcomings, Jesus saw in them men who would change the world. He said to them: "That you may eat and drink at My table, in My kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" (Lk. 22:30). That's quite a turnaround, don't you think?
Jesus said: "Behold your Mother" (Jn. 19:27). And the Apostles took Him up on it.
Think about it: Only after spending nine days in prayer with Mary did they finally "get it". They went from being locked away "for fear of the Jews" (Jn. 20:19), to "rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus" (Acts 5:41).
I'm sure you noticed this too, right?
Never in a million years did the Apostles imagine how their lives would turn out. If they had stopped to "think over" Jesus' invitation when He called them, we would never have known their names. They responded to His invitation immediately. I urge you to do the same.
Your life is about to become very interesting, because, like the Apostles, you have no idea what Jesus and Mary have in store for you.
Therefore, if you're ready to let the most learned man in the Church skyrocket your Marian apologetics and devotion, now is the perfect time to get started. Send for your
