What People Are Saying
As I got to know what her titles meant, a special fondness for Mary was rekindled in my heart.
Thank you for the explanations. I only found, in this book, the meanings of some titles that kept me wondering for a long time.
I didn't realize Our Blessed Mother had so many virtues we can emulate!
