Summary "The Glories of Mary" by Saint Alfonso Maria de' Liguori is a devotional book written in the early 19th century. This work predominantly honors the Virgin Mary, exploring her role as the Queen of Mercy and Mother of all believers, emphasizing her love and compassion towards sinners. Through theological reflections, prayers, and discourse, the author seeks to inspire devotion to Mary and illustrate the many graces she bestows upon her followers. The opening of "The Glories of Mary" sets the stage for its explorations of Mary’s significance in Christian theology. In the preface, the author expresses his intention to dedicate the book to Jesus and Mary, emphasizing that all graces flow through Mary's intercession, following the teachings of the Church. The reader is invited to consider Mary's role not only as the mother of Christ but also as a compassionate figure who aids those seeking forgiveness and redemption. The early chapters articulate the idea that Mary's mercy and intercession are paramount for the salvation of sinners, presenting her as a gentle and loving advocate who desires to help and guide all who turn to her.
