Father Dolindo Ruotolo
A very spiritual treatise for the month of May
Daily Meditations for a Profound Reform of Heart in the School of Mary
This little book, A Month with Mary, was written by an Italian holy priest Father Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970). Originally written as spiritual thoughts to his spiritual daughter, the work is comprised of thirty-one meditations for the month of May.
Father Dolindo wrote A Month with Mary on pocket-sized pages joined into small fascicles of 8 to 12 pages. He sent them to Laura de Rosis every two to three days and later transcribed them with some modifications in volume III of his autobiography: The Story of My Life in the Plan of the Great Mercy of God, pp. 1140ff (cf. Epistolario 1:212n, 218n). This work is from 1912: one of those years which passed in the life of Father Dolindo with the cadence of a "Way of the Cross" ... But he, serene as ever, loved Christ the more, loved Our Lady the more and reflected on this love in these few pages to which he wished to give the significant title: A Profound Reform of Heart in the School of Mary. These meditations are written in the style of the Imitation of Christ. (90pp. laminated gloss, saddle stitch)

by Fr. Stefano M. Manelli, F.I.
A treasure of biblical scholarship
A scholarly, easy to read book tracing Mary’s presence in the Old Testament, through prophecies, fi gures and symbols, to Mary’s role in the New Testament, where we see the many instances and places where Mary is found working beside her Divine Son. A clear, concise exposition (all Biblical) which shows clearly Mary’s place in the economy of Salvation. The author is well known in Italy for his scholarship and leadership in founding the Franciscans of the Immaculate.
(ID: AIB-AG001, 393 pp, perfect bound)

“Fr. Manelli has successfully conjoined exegesis and theology to give us a work of great importance. His study is not a dogmatic theology dressed up in exegetical garments, but a progressive exposition of the gospel message about our Lady. It is a book worthy of praise to be recommended to the specialist, to the student, and to educated Catholics in general.”
- Msgr. Brunero Gherardini, Professor of Theology, Lateran University, Rome

Informative and yet simple to understand
This excellent, handy treatise (125 pages) covers the rich and profound references to Mary, as prefigured in the Old Testament women and prophecies and as found in the New Testament, at the momentous events of Salvation History, from the Annunciation to Pentecost. In keeping with the Church's long tradition of placing Mary's role in the center, beside her Divine Son, through legitimate Scriptural interpretation, the author demonstrates a number of times how Scripture supports Mary's role as Mediatrix of All Graces. The coverage of the historicity of the Infancy Narratives in the Gospel is particularly good in answering Scriptural scholars who attempt to discredit what the Church has always held as historically true.

by Dr. John D. Miller
Answering the confusion on Marian Mediation
Is it True to say that Mary is Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of all Graces and Advocate?
The central theological issue of the last half-millenium and still the most hotly debated article of Catholic doctrine is that of Marian Coredemption. Dr. Miller, a retired London physician, sets the disputed points in perspectives and helps the non-professional to understand why the doctrine is true and eventually worthy of belief.
SKU: AIB-MM025 ,175pp paperback.
"The fruits of Dr. Miller's study and meditation are in part found in this easy to read, yet very thorough examination of the reasons why it is absolutely reasonable to believe in the Virgin Mother's universal mediation.'

Mariology of Blessed John Duns Scotus
Price: $18.00
ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

by Fr. Ruggero Rosini, OFM
A comprehensive and scholarly study
Fr. Rosini has, perhaps for the first time, provided a complete, well-balanced exposition of Scotus on Our Lady, with all the many inter-connections between the mystery of Mary and the whole of theology, illustrating plainly how the subtle resolution of the most complex of theological questions was not something achieved prior to any consideration of Mary, but exactly to the contrary: by meditating “in the spirit of prayer and devotion” (St. Francis of Assisi) on the Blessed and Immaculate Virgin in the mystery of Christ and the Church (Lumen Gentium, ch. 8, title).

Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, FI – Translator,
from the book's Presentation
PROD ID: AIB-MBD030, 313 pp., perfect bound.
"Finally, an in-depth study of mariology from a Franciscan, scotistic perspective in English! In the Mariology of Blessed John Duns Scotus Fr. Rosini starts from above—from the divine counsels that first predestined Christ and His Immaculate Mother to glory in an absolute manner (sin or no sin)—and then proceeds to unveil the profound truths about Mary in her relation to Christ, herself and to us. An intellectually demanding treatise, to be sure, but guaranteed to deepen one’s knowledge and love for His and our Immaculate Mother."

Fr. Maximilian Mary Dean, FI – Author of A Primer on the Absolute Primacy of Christ
"The invaluable insights of the genial and saintly John Duns Scotus must be renewed in our own day, especially in light of their extraordinarily positive mariological ramifications. The absolute predestination of Mary juxtaposed with the Incarnation constitutes a “mariological Copernican revolution,” and demands the attention of every serious student and professor of mariology."

Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Mariology, Franciscan University of Steubenville
"We salute the Mariological achievement of Fr. Rosini. He has, perhaps for the first time, provided a complete, well-balanced exposition of Scotus on Our Lady, with all the many inter-connections between the mystery of Mary and the whole of theology, illustrating plainly how the subtle resolution of the most complex of theological questions was not something achieved prior to any consideration of Mary, but exactly to the contrary: by meditating “in the spirit of prayer and devotion” on the Blessed-Immaculate Virgin in the mystery of Christ and the Church."

A compendium of scholars' work on Mary
With so much attention focused today on whether the Church should define the long-standing traditional teaching of the Church that Mary is the Mediatrix of all Graces, this symposium on Marian Coredemption addresses supporting evidences for its definition. The week-long symposium, which took place at Ratcliff College in England, had 18 conferences beside a prayerful "retreat" which included Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary and the Little Hours of the Office. Many wellknown Mariologists gave papers, such as: Bishop Paul Hnilica, Fr. Bertrand De Margerie, S.J., Dr. Mark Miravalle, Fr. Stefano Manelli, F.I., Fr. Aidan Nichols, O.P., Mother Francesca Perillo, F.I., Msgr. Arthur Calkins, and Fr. Peter Damian Mary Fehlner, F.I., who was the moderator, introducing the speakers.

The 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception occasioned the theme of this volume. The mysteries of Mary are so intertwined that each of them sheds light to one other. This is the case between the Immaculate Conception and Marian Coredemption. A typical Franciscan thesis, the articles in this series reiterates that only she who is perfectly redeemed (Immaculate Conception) has a unique active role in the redemption of Christ. only one who is fullness of graces, in the words of St. Maximilian, can distribute and mediate them to souls.

Coredemption as Key to a Correct Understanding of Redemption
Originally presented as Acts of the Marian Symposium in Fatima, Portugal in the year 2007, addresses central Christological issues bearing on the meaning and consequences of the Redemption, those arising from an incorrect or total lack of understanding of the mystery of Marian coredemption. Such aberrations as patripassianism, liberation theology, Kantian transcendentalism substituted for scholastic metaphysics, soteriological substitutionism and the Protestant solus, reflect a deeply rooted Marian minimalism and rejection of Mary’s prerogative as Coredemptrix.

Venerable Mother Agreda and the Mariology of Vatican II
Price: $5.00
ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

What does Vatican II teach about Mary?
The book "Venerable Mother Agreda and the Mariology of Vatican II" replies to the objections that Mother Agreda pushes an outdated Mariology. It shows that the genuine teaching of the Second Vatican Council, far from being different from Mother Agreda and her work, the Mystical City of God, is profoundly and expressly anticipated by this jewel of Spanish and Franciscan Mariology. Being profoundly Franciscan in her mariology, this book reaffirms the value and the defense of the entire school of Franciscan Mariology which is characteristically metaphysical, against those who oppose the figures of St. Maximilian, Padre Pio and St. Bernardine of Siena and others The book refutes the claim that the classical approach to Mariology by these saints has been superceded by the conciliar biblical-historical" approach.
