The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine
Do You Make These Mistakes In Marian Devotion And Marian Apologetics?
"The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine" draws you closer to Jesus through Mary by helping you avoid the worst mistakes NEVER to make in your devotion to Mary.
When Pope Clement VIII named St. Robert a Cardinal, he said...
"The Church of God has not his equal in learning."
As you may know, Jesus told St. Bridget of Sweden, at a time when the only Christians on the planet were Catholics and some Orthodox...
"Do not be surprised at what I say. If the wisest man in the world could count up how many souls fall into hell each day, they would outnumber the sands of the sea or the pebbles on the shore. I am saying this so that the devil's numbers may decrease, and the danger become known, and My army be filled up. If only they would listen and come to their senses "
One of the chief ways the devil increases his numbers is by false devotions to Mary. That's why St. Louis-Marie de Montfort warned...
"There are at this time, more than ever, false devotions to our Blessed Lady which it is easy to mistake for true ones. The devil, like a counterfeiter and a subtle and experienced deceiver, has already deceived and destroyed so many souls by a false devotion to the Blessed Virgin, that he makes a daily use of his diabolical experience to plunge many others by this same way into everlasting perdition" ("True Devotion to Mary", 90).
St. Robert Bellarmine helps you avoid the devil's false devotions to Mary.
Although he's a Doctor of the Church, his Marian writings don't confuse or overwhelm you, but explain Marian devotion and Marian apologetics in a simple, effective way.
You don't even need to finish the book to feel like you've gotten your money's worth.
Since he had access to texts which still haven't been translated, he tends to say things you've never heard before.
This book also contains biographical material about him, which, until now, has never been translated. It's all focused on how he lived his own devotion to Mary.
That's where he shows you "how to learn from the example of Mary."
Pope St. Pius X wrote...
"Hence nobody ever knew Christ so profoundly as she did, and nobody can ever be more competent as a guide and teacher of the knowledge of Christ.
"Hence it follows, as We have already pointed out, that the Virgin is more powerful than all others as a means for uniting mankind with Christ" (Ad diem illum, 7).
That was certainly true in St. Robert's life, because during the process of his canonization, the Church concluded that he'd never committed a deliberate venial sin.
Imagine how the Marian writings of someone who lived so close to Mary will help you avoid falling victim to one of the devil's false devotions to her.
Now, before you think of ordering this book...
There Is One Qualification You Must Meet
St. Maximilian Kolbe told his fellow Franciscans how to get the most out of their Marian reading...
"It is sufficient to dedicate five minutes daily to the reading, but be resolute, and do not omit these five minutes any day. This will be an assurance of advancement in perfection. It will likewise be a healthful nourishment for our souls."
If you don't make a serious resolution to dedicate just five minutes a day to reading this book, which explains Marian devotion and Marian apologetics so well, then this is not the purchase for you, at least not now, because this book will be worthless to you.
As the saying goes, "The man who doesn't read has no advantage over the man who can't read."
However, if you know the value of learning Marian devotion and Marian apologetics from the Saint who was the most learned man in the Church during his lifetime, and you meet the one qualification above, I invite you to claim your copy of th
