John Peter Pinamonti

The Immaculate Heart of Mary John Peter Pinamonti

A book that is a faithful reproduction of the classical "Considerations" of Father Pinamonti (1632-1703) on those interior perfections of the Blessed Virgin Mary which make her worthy of the esteem and love of Christians. The original Italian work was published over three centuries ago, and has remained a favorite book of devotion. Taking up one by one the dispositions wrought by the grace of God in the soul of the Mother of the Divine Son, it thus covers the ground of solid Christian teaching which underlies all true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. With Father Pinamonti's crystal clearness of thought and expression, and revelations and teachings from over forty Fathers, Doctors, ecclesiastical writers and mystics of the church, including St. Anselm, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bridget of Sweden, St. Augustine, and St. Catherine of Sienna, this spirit-filled book is perfect for the simple soul who wants to achieve a better understanding of the essentials of Christian piety. Imprimatur.
