What may surprise them is the key role that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary played in that conversion.Apart from the Papacy, devotion to Mary is perhaps the greatest stumbling block for the majority of Protestants. Yet, Newman had already developed a devotion to Mary and a defense of some Catholic doctrines on the subject even while he was still a Protestant.Newmans journey to the Church can said to have been guided by Our Lady, toward the kindly light which he was to rest in.In honor of his canonization, this volume draws together Newmans Marian writings into an anthology of this new saints profound writings on our Lady. Some are doctrinal or apologetic, while others are deeply devotional meditations. These two approaches not only show two sides of Saint John Henry Newmans character, they will increase your own love and devotion to Our Lady.
