Mary Mother Of The Redemption

Mariology has always proved an attractive subject to Catholic writers. This fresh and lively study of Our Lady by one of the leading modern theologians speaks in every way to the condition of our time -- theologically, ecumenically, psychologically, humanly, historically. Recent Scripture scholarship is used to intensify and make more real our grasp of Mary in her Jewish and Old Testament setting: the theology of the Redemption enhances Mary's glory by emphasizing its total dependence on that of Christ; a sensitive and humane psychology analyzes th significance and clarifies the value of popular Marian devotion and the visions of Our Lady in modern times.

Find power in your prayer like never before with this inspiring guide from #1 New York Times bestselling author Bishop T.D. Jakes. In a time when women carry more influence than any other generation, the power of prayer has never been more important to remind us that we do not have to bear our crosses alone. We need prayer to stand guard over our hearts and minds and over the hearts and minds of our families. Women today are shattering glass ceilings and forging new paths in the world. What Happens When a Woman Prays is a clarion call for women to continue their progressive march of empowerment by dreaming like their daughters and praying like their grandmothers. Through exploring the lives of 10 prayer-filled women of the Bible, Bishop Jakes emphasizes the life-changing power that women have when they find their identity, their strength, their healing, and their voices in Christ.

This short book presents the teaching of Mary the Co-Redemptrix, describing her role, united with Christ but subject to Him, in the Redemption. The term today is surrounded by great confusion and on account of this, there exists a poor understanding of Our Lady. Not only is the subject of Co-Redemption not understood, but a vital aspect of Mary's life and vocation as Mother of God and of the Church is missed. In order to clarify this doctrine and bring others to a deep relationship with the Mother of the Church, the author explains the term, and turns to the saints from the Church's history to demonstrate the constant teaching of Co-Redemption. At the close of the work a series of topical and theological objections are presented and answered.
