The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Clemens Brentano had planned a Life of Mary to be based like The Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ: After The Meditations Of Anne Catherine Emmerich, on his recordings of the visions of the famous mystic, Anne Catherine Emmerich. On his death in 1842 the work was left unfinished, and it was not till many years later that it was finally completed by other hands.

'Though the accounts of these visions', to quote Brentano's Preface to the Dolorous Passions, 'solemnly reject the slightest claim to bear the character of historical truth' - being merely 'a pious nun's Lenten meditations' - yet he was at pains to try to verify, often with surprising success, the scriptural, historical and geographical elements in the mystical visions he recorded. The results of his researches he embodied in notes which are here reprinted, together with further critical notes, on both the original text and Brentano's comments, by Father Sebastian Bullough, O.P.

A treasury of holy scenes and pictures which contribute to the edification and inspiration of the faithful; the Life of Mary is 'a worthy companion' to the earlier book, and should obviously be read in conjunction with the Dolorous Passion, since the one narrative often supplements the other.

The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Ann Catherine Emmerick

I know this book. It is extremely valuable in content and articulation.

I need to alert someone about the fact I tried to order 2 of these books besides the bood on Mary Magdalen by the same author, bringing my purchase over $20.00, thus avoiding shipping charges. I hope this is understood. Del Rhames

Getting to love even more Blessed Mother Mary!!

Well, this book brought me even closer to the holly events of the New Testament!! Being a mother myself, I felt even closer to lovely Maria, with a deep human compassion and a deep religious and human respect...The details of the everyday living and human contact of those days is an invaluable historical find!!

The book being based on parts of another big book (The Passion of Christ) reffering only to Mother Mary'life, looses its deeper impact and value as a quality Literature book...I also felt , that I needed to learn more about the common life of Joseph, Mary, and all of their children! But this part of Maria's life is unfortunately missing in this book , while it is not missing in the Bible Itself ( : The original New Testament in Ancient Greek) ...

Faith

How can anyone review a book like this ? One has to read this book with an open heart. Anna Catherine is so religious and sincere that its a wonder. Read this book in the same mode..Is there any one like this do-day ??

Interesting read

Anne Catherine Emmerick is the same person who inspired Mel Gibson to make the movie "The Passion". A heart felt insight to the life of Jesus Blessed Mother.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

"What is it about Emmerich's books that have provoked such consistently remarkable responses? They are not merely works of uncanny power by a renowned mystic and stigmatist. They present visionary recreations of the exact details and circumstances of the events in the Gospel. These recreations give the faithful the sense of being privileged witnesses to the events described more sparingly in the Scriptures.

The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary provides an in-depth account of Our Lady's ancestry, birth and life. It also contains information on the hidden years of Our Lord's childhood, life in the Holy Family, and Our Lady's later years and death."
