The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine - Paperback

If you're a Catholic who loves the fact that Jesus was inviting you to a close friendship with Him and His Mother when He said, "Behold thy Mother" (Jn. 19:27), then Pope Clement VIII says you're in for a treat.

Here's why:

This collection of St. Robert Bellarmine's Marian writings will skyrocket your devotion to Mary and your skills in Marian apologetics, so you can enjoy a closer friendship with Jesus and Mary.

Jesus showed His desire to live in the closest possible friendship with you when He said, "Abide in Me" (Jn. 15:4).

In fact, He's so insistent upon having this close friendship with you, that to drive home His point, He uses the word "abide" ten times in the seven verses of Jn. 15:4-10.

And to make this close friendship with you happen, He directs you to His Blessed Mother. As 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."

The intellectual gifts which God bestowed upon St. Robert Bellarmine through Mary were so apparent, that when Pope Clement VIII named him a cardinal, he said...

"The Church of God has not his equal in learning."

St. Robert spells out devotion to Mary and Marian apologetics in such an easy-to-understand way, that he helps you encounter Our Lady in a way you've never encountered her before.

You're about to discover his masterful arguments defending Our Lady's Immaculate Conception and Assumption centuries before the Church formally defined them.

He brilliantly defends and sheds light on Our Lady's Perpetual Virginity, and her other privileges as well.

You'll enjoy his 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.

You'll read his sermons and even his sermon fragments.

And, for the first time in English, you'll also discover previously untranslated biographical material about St. Robert, taken from the Summa Aurea de Laudibus Beatissimae Virginis Mariae (which most people have neither seen nor heard of), showing you how he lived his own devotion to Mary.

That's where he shows you precisely how to "learn from the example of Mary" in a way which helps you develop a much closer friendship with her and her Son.

Listen...

You've already taken an important step today, because the fact that you're reading about a book on devotion to Mary, which will fast-track you to a close friendship with Jesus is proof...

(1) that He's seeking you, and (2) that you're responding to His grace, because St. John of the Cross emphasized...

"First, it must be known that if a soul is seeking God, its Beloved is seeking it much more."

OK, that's it for now. I'm running out of space here. But anyway, I hope I've given you enough information about this collection of St. Robert Bellarmine's Marian writings to make you decide to get it and read it right away.

God's entire plan for your life is predicated upon you not having any regrets. And when you go "all-in" on your devotion to Mary, you won't have any.

That's because, as you read above (and it's worth repeating), 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."

Because God wants you to enjoy a much closer friendship with Him through Mary, why not discover how others have done it using St. Robert Bellarmine's approach.

It's wholly up to you.
