Within these charming pages, Raphael Brown - compiler of The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics - relates scores of beautiful, real stories about canonized Saints who saw and spoke with the Blessed Virgin Mary. He describes in detail their visions, giving the actual words spoken by Our Lady to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Bridget of Sweden, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Simon Stock, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Catherine Laboure and many others -seventeen in total! It is inspiring to see how the Blessed Mother has intervened in so many lives to grant favors, perform miracles, solve problems, heal bodies, convert souls, enlighten minds, encourage hearts, commission projects and impart secrets. Many of these stories involve Our Lord and Our Lady acting together, showing how the Mother of God works in close union with her Divine Son. Moreover, the many graphic pictures of Our Lady and the Saints included here make the stories come alive! Few Catholics have ever heard the amazing stories recounted in Saints Who Saw Mary. Most will be amazed to see how great a role Our Lady has played in the lives of a number of famous Saints whose Marian devotion is not well known. Saints Who Saw Mary is a beautiful book that imparts a profound realization about the loving role Mary plays in the lives of the faithful on earth and her close cooperation in the work of her Son in saving souls. Page for page, this is one of the most enlightening, enjoyable and inspiring Catholic books a person will ever encounter!
