In Marian
Gems: Daily Wisdom on Our Lady,
Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, shares a gem or quote on Mary for each day
of the year drawn from the writings of the Popes, Saints, Blesseds,
and Venerables, which makes the book ideal for daily prayer and
reflection. Father Calloway has arranged the gems with the Church
Year in mind, so that whenever possible the quote complements a
Marian feast day, a saint's feast day, or a particular liturgical
season.
