Great book by Archbishop Fulton Sheen! Very informative. God bless his soul!

A must read book for anyone struggling with the inexplicable attraction the Catholic Church has for her mother!
Listen to the love described by one of Church's most eloquent Preacher and truly a son of Mary!

This is beautiful spiritual reading. I am not the biggest fan of reading Fulton Sheen because of finding his many, many images and examples a bit distracting. All the same, this book was full of tons of prayer points. I recommend for anyone wanting to grow in a richer relationship with our Blessed Mother!

Incredible reflection on the Mother of God and how she can help us. I think I highlighted a good 85% of this book. So much wisdom, yet so easy to understand. Fulton Sheen at his best. Full of love and devotion.

Can I just highlight this whole book real quick?

Easily the best book I've read all year. I've listened to Ven. Fulton Sheen's talks and I love them but I was so intimidated by his intellect and sincerity that I thought his writings would be totally inaccessible to me. I found the complete opposite. His writing is fluid, passionate, and he is capable of packing such dense material into simple and heartfelt language that every time I picked up this book I had to prepare myself for a huge impact of combined conviction and knowledge.

I'm so excited to read more of his books!

All his writing is wonderful.

Favourite chapter has to be on the Rosary.

Lots of gems.

I love Fulton Sheen and have been blessed MANY times to see his program on EWTN and have heard his messages on CD - this book was truly a blessing. Seeing/reading of his devotion to our Blessed Mother was beautiful and only encouraged mine. Truly a wonderful book

Beautiful book by Venerable Fulton Sheen about Mother Mary. I particularly enjoyed the insights in the second-to-last chapter, "Mary and the Sword," which drew upon the parallels between the Seven Last Words of Jesus, and the Seven thrusts of the Sword that pierced both the Immaculate and Sacred Hearts. While this book took me a while to read (because life happens, not for lack of interest), it has become a favorite, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone attempting to understand Mother Mary's love. Beautiful words, enlightened, to be sure, by the Holy Spirt.

Sheen brings his mastery of language and devotion to Our Lady. It's a great book and a necessary one for Catholics who have a hard time understanding why Mary is so important (and really necessary) for the Catholic Faith.

I loved this book on so many levels. Sheen’s deep insights, his use of poetry, his commentary on the crisis of the modern world and the threat of nuclear annihilation, which is not without hope. My biggest take away was Sheen’s sensitive exploration of feminism and how materialism takes away the spiritual and intellectual dignity of women (and men) which can be restored through Mary who is a model for all vocations.

I'm not a big fan of religious books, but Sheen's expansive little book reads like the Magnificat. A book by a wise man with a deep understanding of human nature and the human condition, he goes in depth into looking at spousel relationships and the state of the world in relation to the Mother of God.
He also introduced me to Thomas Merton with an excerpt from Merton's Tears of the Blind Lions, which I also subsequently read, and loved, and I'm not a big poetry reader either.

Read as a devotional to Our Lady while also reading Kempis's "Imitation of Christ," I came away enriched due to Bishop Sheen's extraordinary ability to weave theology, philosophy, history, and spirituality in such an effortless manner. In Part I: "The Woman the World Loves," Sheen has us walk with him through all the significant events of Mary's life, contemplating her reactions and the significance of them for all time and for each of us personally. The second part, "The World the Woman Loves," tackles a variety of issues in the modern world in light of the example of the Virgin. Virginity, equality, Islam, the Rosary, suffering, and the nuclear age, are all topics worked through splendidly in light of Mary. And, although it is sixty years old, it rarely feels dated. In fact, I noted a number of times when his prescience in noting problematic trends in his time have continued on a trajectory that find them amplified many times over in our world today.

This is a book that is to be savored, not devoured. A good plan is to take no more than a chapter a day (about 10-12 pages on average) with a pen and pad at your side. Jot down concepts and quotes that particularly strike you and use those as meditation for the day. When you are done with the book, I venture to say that you will have a handsome set of notes that you can refer to often for inspiration for yourself or that you will want to share.
