Prayerfully journey through Lent with fresh and meaningful reflections on the daily Mass readings. In just minutes per day, the insightful meditations of Not by Bread Alone can deepen your experience of this solemn season of prayer and penance.

Mirjana Soldo was only sixteen years old when she and five other children saw a mysterious woman on a hillside near the village of Medjugorje, ex-Yugoslavia. The woman—who possessed an extraordinary beauty and grace—identified herself as the Virgin Mary. The events that began on that summer afternoon in 1981 dramatically changed Mirjana’s life and brought intense suffering at the hands of the communist authorities.

After more than 35 years of apparitions, people still flock to Medjugorje in search of answers to life’s big questions. Stories of miracles abound, and, according to Mirjana, more are yet to come—the Virgin entrusted her with ten prophetic secrets concerning the future of the world. In this auto-biography, Mirjana tells the story of Medjugorje through her own eyes—the same eyes that reportedly gaze upon the most revered woman in history.

Based heavily on scripture, Church teaching, and Looney's personal experience, A Heart Like Mary's gently teaches us how to imitate Mary'€™s love for others and devotion to God. Each day's meditation offers simple yet reflective insight into a unique characteristic of Mary's heart. You'€™ll discover twenty-one attributes and ten separate desires of her heart, including:

• A Heart That Says Yes

• A Heart That Rejoices

• A Heart Filled with Generous Love

• A Heart Attentive to the Needs of Others

• A Heart of Compassion

• A Heart Desiring to Alleviate Suffering

• A Heart Desiring Us to Pray

• A Heart Desiring Peace

The book offers answers to many of the questions that come up in ministry, with a thorough treatment of the Church's long-standing teaching on the Mother of God. The anthology, edited by Dr. Mark Miravalle of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, features 17 chapters divided among four major sections:
1) Mary in Scripture and the Early Church;
2) Marian Dogma;
3) Marian Doctrine; and
4) Marian Liturgy and Devotion.

 Considered by many to be the greatest single book of Marian spirituality ever written, True Devotion to Mary, is St Louis de Montfort's classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ though the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

In this beautiful and sublimely inspiring book, de Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which true devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life. 
This new edition in the TAN Classic format includes an expanded Preparation for Total Consecration with readings and prayers. There is no better way to advance quickly in holiness, no better way to please God, and no better way to guarantee one's present sanctity and eternal salvation than the true devotion to Mary.

This second volume continues in the tradition of prayer as a dialogue between God and our hearts. Thirty meditations are provided, covering everyday situations and faith concerns. Many questions are included to provoke thought and further meditation on the part of the reader. Some of the topics include a prayer response to the meditation, some request your input and reflection, and some provide a suggested response from the Lord. All are offered in the heartfelt hope that a closer dialogue will result between the reader and He who created us.

This book is designed to be an aid to those who spend time with the Lord in His hidden form in the tabernacle, or exposed in the Blessed Sacrament. This book provides an extensive segment of guided meditations, which also include prayer responses. There is an additional segment devoted to a variety of prayers, and another which offers a prepared format covering a one-hour period. A useful tool for anyone who wishes some private, quiet time with the King of Kings, but struggles to meditate without guidance. 

This popular devotional features inspired messages for every day of the year by missionary Sarah Young, written from the perspective of Jesus speaking to the reader.
