I have always recommended this book for its rich spiritual content, it's multiple meditations and the prayers that can be found there, and being that today, August the 1st, we start a month dedicated to the Heart of Mary, I wanted to rekindle their devotion to the Mother of God.
The purpose of The Glories of Mary is to incite the reader to glorify Mary and, through her intercession, receive from Jesus Christ the graces we need for Salvation. This book starts with a commentary on the prayer "Hail Mary" which is much more than meets the eye, for it is an endless source of consolations and motivations to persevere in the practice of virtue.
Just like in Pohle's "Mariology", St. Alphonsus explains some Marian dogmas & beliefs, with the difference that his writing is more adapted to the minds of simple people with less theological knowledge. The book offers multiple meditations on the Virtues of Mary, that we may imitate them, and meditations for feasts of the year dedicated to her, such as the Assumption which is coming in 15 days. It even includes prayers & devotions (I recommend the devotion to the 7 sorrows of Jesus) which will aid in your sanctification.
There are no words capable of expressing how good it is, so why don't you click on the links provided and start reading it as soon as possible? People who are grieving or sorrowing for whatever reason may find perfect consolation in this volume.
