Feasts of Our Lady by Msgr. Arthur Tonne

Talks on Fifty Feasts of Mary Throughout the Year with Two Talks for Mother's Day. A wonderful book devoted to an explanation of the Marian feast days featured in the traditional Roman Missal and observed by some religious congregations or ecclesiastical regions.Originally published in 1951 as a homiletic aide for priests, this book features 50 feasts of our Lady and 2 additional ones for Mother's Day.Each chapter devoted to a feast of our Lady is written in Fr. Tonne's engaging style of employing a short story to drive home a spiritual point. A perfect blend of interesting historical fact with scriptural references, drawing the reader to ponder further on the virtues of our Heavenly Mother revealed through the devotions pertaining to each chapter.Fr. Tonne introduces his book thus:"Behold a feeble tribute to Our Blessed Mother, an effort to acquaint our people with some of her beauties and graces, her privileges and powers."He declares:"When we realize how good Mary has been to us and to the world, when we realize that she is a merciful, powerful and effective Advocate at the throne of God, we will pledge anew our loyalty to her."
