Paperback: "Mary..., the Mother of Fairest Love, will be for Christians on the way to the Great Jubilee of the Third Millennium the Star which safely guides their steps to the Lord.

(Jn 1:9)"
Taking up the invitation of the Holy Father, the author develops a Marian itinerary in thirty-one reflections in which he covers all the evangelical events in the life of the Virgin Mother, explains and enlarges on the meaning of the Marian dogmas, and throws light on her liturgical feasts and popular devotions.
The Gospel of Mary (2000) is a book of sound doctrine and easy reading and will be a treasure to those who are looking to deepen their own spiritual life and love for her who is Mother of the Church and Mother of us all.
