December reading, Marian theology
I ordered "The Gospel of Mary: A Month With the Mother of God" by Fr. Gabriel Amorth, SSP from Amazon.com on Friday. I received it on Monday! This is a book that is meant to be read in portions daily. Again, Fr. Amorth's writing ability to so easy, that it's hard to stay disciplined and not read this entire book all at once. To supplement my cravings for more Marian learning, I've been reading "Mary: The Church at the Source" by Pope Benedict XVI and Hans Urs von Balthasar. It provides a more theological perspective, whereas Fr. Amorth is more emotive. My desire to learn about our Blessed Mother will hopefully overwhelm how boring Pope Benedict XVI writes. He's brilliant and I respect him greatly, but he writes so dry!
