Uncover the Little-Known Details of Mary This beautiful, full-color book rich in theology and spirituality is the quintessential Marian resource to understand Mary’s role in salvation history and in the life of the Church. Your most pressing questions about what Catholics believe about Mary are answered by renowned Marian expert, Dr. Robert Fastiggi. “Miracle Hunter,” Michael O’Neill, uncovers little-known details about Mary’s appearances around the world since the time of Christ. Virgin, Mother, Queen explores the scriptural and historical foundations of the most frequently invoked titles of Mary; each name is paired with an apparition to inspire you, along with an accessible explanation of the historical significance of her messages to the faithful at that time, and the importance of those messages to us today. The 10 Church-Sanctioned Apparitions of Mary Virgin: Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico, 1531) Michael O'Neill tells the story of the Guadalupan form of Mary appearing in both Spain and Mexico, as well as the science, mystery, and history surrounding these two apparitions. Mediatrix of Grace: Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (Rue du Bac, France, 1830) What is meant by "Mediatrix" and what does this role entail? Robert L. Fastiggi answers these and more. Mother of Sorrows: Our Lady of La Salette (France, 1846) Appearing only once, O'Neill explains how this weeping Mary had dire implications for France. Immaculate and All-Holy: Our Lady of Lourdes (France, 1858) Fastiggi describes the way Church history was shaped by the concept of Immaculate Conception. Advocate: Our Lady of Pontmain (Pontmain, France, 1871) Historically, Mary has advocated for her children in times of disaster. O'Neill uses the clear example of her appearance during the Franco-Prussian war to describe that advocacy. Blessed: The Knock Apparition (Ireland, 1879) In addition to being the mother of Jesus, Fastiggi discusses why Mary is considered "blessed." Mother of the Church: Our Lady of Fatima (Portugal, 1917) Dubbed the "Miracle of the Sun," this apparition's prophecies had great impact on the Church. Queen of Heaven: Our Lady of Beuraing (Belgium, 1932) Similar to the apparition of Banneaux, Mary's appearance at Beauraing shows the connection between herself as a queen and as a mother. Mother of Mercy: Our Lady of Banneaux (Belgium, 1933) Mary receives two names in this case: Mother of Mercy, and Virgin of the Poor. Fastiggi describes how the two are interconnected. Mother of God: Our Lady of Kibeho (Rwanda, 1981) O'Neill explains the visions of Mary and their subsequent connection to the Rwandan genocide.
