The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine
Fascinating Facts You Should Know About Devotion To Mary And Marian Apologetics
If you're as enthusiastic about having the kind of close relationship with Mary that she wants to have with you, then this will be the most exciting message you read today.
Here's why:
When Pope Clement VIII named St. Robert Bellarmine a Cardinal, he said...
"The Church of God has not his equal in learning."
St. Peter tells us: "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope" (1 Pt. 3:15).
St. Robert gives you those explanations.
He defended Marian dogmas, such as the Immaculate Conception and Assumption, centuries before the Church formally defined them.
He brilliantly defended Our Lady's Perpetual Virginity, as well as her other privileges.
You'll love his unique defense of the Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen). Whereas St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote about it from a devotional point of view, St. Robert discusses it from an apologetics point of view.
This collection includes his Marian sermons and sermon fragments.
It also contains biographical material about St. Robert, which, until now, has never been translated. It's all focused solely on how he lived his devotion to Mary. And he's an excellent model for how you can live your own devotion to Mary. This is only place you'll find this material in English.
And St. Robert shows you precisely "how to learn from the example of Mary."
Blessed Pope Pius IX stated:
"God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary."
That's great news, because when God tells us...
"I am the Almighty God: walk before Me, and be perfect" (Gen. 17:1)"Be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy" (Lev. 19:2)"Be perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt. 5:48)"For this is the will of God, your sanctification" (1 Th. 4:3)"He that is holy, let him be sanctified still" (Apoc. 22:11)...
All He's doing is confirming that He wants to have the closest possible friendship with you, because that's what holiness and Christian perfection are.
Now, if, theoretically, you know that God can't command the impossible, but practically, you don't believe that type of close relationship with God is possible in your case, then you don't need to order this book.
But if you're someone who believes a better life is possible for you, because "the things that are impossible with men, are possible with God" (Lk. 18:27), then this book is for you, because Pope St. Pius X emphasized in the Encyclical Ad diem illum:
"Hence nobody ever knew Christ so profoundly as she did, and nobody can ever be more competent as a guide and teacher of the knowledge of Christ.
"Hence it follows, as We have already pointed out, that the Virgin is more powerful than all others as a means for uniting mankind with Christ."
The practices of Marian devotion which this book teaches you are practical. And you can do them today.
During the process of his beatification and canonization, the Church concluded that St. Robert had never committed a deliberate venial sin. And since God grants all graces through Mary, that was a special grace that she obtained for him.
Imagine how exciting it'll be for you to learn Marian devotion and Marian apologetics from someone who lived so close to Mary.
Imagine what that'll do for your own spiritual life.
Don't miss out on letting Our Lady transform your relationship with God. Pick up your copy of "The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine" today, because the Church assures you that his Marian writings will be of great help to you.
