UNDER MARY’S MANTLE

Underlying Canada’s history as a nation from its earliest beginnings, like a hidden stream, giving it spiritual life and sustenance, has been the incomparable influence of the Mother of God. For early settlers and pioneers, Canada was the physical gateway to a new life and fresh beginnings. Touched by grace, they turned with yearning and devotion to Mary as the spiritual gateway to her Son. Discover Mary’s role in Canada’s beginnings; read about men and women pioneers who were deeply given to her: The Jesuit Canadian martyrs; Holy native Catholics like Blessed Kateri Tekekwitha and Joseph Chiwatenha; Jeanne Mance, Jeanne le Ber, Blessed Marie of the Incarnation, Blessed Catherine of St. Augustine, St. Marguerite Bourgeois, St. Marguerite D’Youville, Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher, Elizabeth Turgeon, Marie Fitzbach and Blessed Bishop Laval. Hear about known and little-known Marian shrines and Marian Sources of the Canadian Church. Father Émile Brière, a priest of Madonna House, has written a unique account of Our Lady’s role in the shaping of Canada as a Christian nation. He also offers a simple and effective blueprint for the restoration of all things to her Son in the new millenium. The only book of it’s kind in English!
