Meetings with Mary
Author: Janice T. Connell
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0804181055
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
Through the centuries and across the world, the Virgin Mary has appeared to ordinary people of every race and culture, from scholars to illiterates, from the devout to the unbelieving, from young children to the dying. In this exquisite and inspiring volume, Janice T. Connell chronicles authenticated Marian apparitions and messages Mary has brought from God--as mother, comforter, Queen of Angels, and Prophet of the Apocalypse. Drawn from scripture, legend, and never-before-published eyewitness accounts, these are personal stories--the author's own, and her interviews with other visionaries--filled with beauty, wonder, and joy. Meetings with Mary ranges from Elijah's vision of Mary eight hundred years before her birth to the world-famous children of Medjugorje in Bosnia, whose encounters with her began in 1981 and continue daily. Here also are lesser-known, deeply touching encounters with the Mother, from an office worker in Holland to a Japanese nun, from a Jewish banker in Rome to an awestruck crowd of visionaries, few of them Christians or of any other faith, in Egypt. Meetings with Mary asks also: as the millennium draws near, shadowed by disasters, disease, and brutal civil warfare, are Mary's frequent appearances a signal to the faithful? Perhaps she is calling us all to join her now on a voyage toward the eternal shores of peace, joy, and abiding love. . . . "[Connell is] passionate about prayer and sharing her love of Jesus' mother. . . . She has a way of simplifying complex theology." --Rocky Mountain News

The Life Writings of Mary Baker McQuesten
Author: Mary J. Anderson
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 0889205418
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
How did a privileged Victorian matron, newly widowed and newly impoverished, manage to raise and educate her six young children and restore her family to social prominence? Mary Baker McQuesten’s personal letters, 155 of which were carefully selected by Mary J. Anderson, tell the story. In her uninhibited style, in letters mostly to her children, Mary Baker McQuesten chronicles her financial struggles and her expectations. The letters reveal her forthright opinions on a broad range of topics — politics, religion, literature, social sciences, and even local gossip. We learn how Mary assessed each of her children’s strengths and weaknesses, and directed each of their lives for the good of the family. For example, she sent her daughter Ruby out to teach, so she could send her earnings home to educate Thomas, the son Mary felt was most likely to succeed. And succeed he did, as a lawyer and mpp, helping to build many of Hamilton’s and Ontario’s highways, bridges, parks, and heritage sites, and in doing so, bringing the family back to social prominence. Mary Baker McQuesten was also president of the Women’s Missionary Society. The appearance, manner, and eloquence of various ministers and politicians all come under her uninhibited scrutiny, providing lively insights into the Victorian moral and social motivations of both men and women and about the gender conflicts that occurred both at home and abroad. This book will satisfy many readers. Those interested in the drama of Victorian society will enjoy the images of the stern Presbyterian matriarch, the sacrificed female, family mental illness, the unresolved death of a husband, and the dangers of social stigma. Scholars looking for research material will find an abundance in the letters, well annotated with details of the surrounding political, social, and current events of the times.

We Meet Again, an adventure through time
Author: Emily J. Garrett
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 9781469117423
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Sara ́s strange nightly dreams began right before meeting Mary Jo. They seemed to mirror the uncomfortable situations she faced each day. Her real dreams of becoming a writer were getting lost in the shuffle, as she coped with a murderer following her around town. How would she and Mary Jo solve this when they didn ́t really know who he was and couldn ́t prove he did it? It was unfortunate that he knew they suspected him. This is what they thought was the mystery, until the real mystery unfolded right under their noses. Chapter 1 Late one afternoon, Sara had started to feel tremendous vibrations underneath her feet. Although she realized the implications, she felt a certain calm inside. She went to find Athena. Sara waited outside the room until Athena ́s next patient came out. Then she went inside. "You noticed it too, I guess," sighed Athena. "It would be difficult to ignore the intensity." "Yes, I noticed it," replied Athena with concern. "I wonder how much longer we have left." "Not much longer I imagine," said Sara. "Do you think we...." Just then Lucas rushed in. "You must come to the solarium with me. It is urgent." They quickly followed Lucas. "What ́s going on in the solarium?" asked Athena, as she tried to keep up with him. "There is no time to explain," said Lucas. "You will see for yourself as soon as we get there," he added abruptly as they hurried down the hallway. As soon as they reached the doorway Athena and Sara knew what Lucas meant. The once beautiful sunny sky had changed to a dark and gloomy afternoon. The ocean was enraged. The treacherous waves were crashing against the shore, provoked by the powerful eruptions of the nearby volcano. The three friends knew that the disastrous end to their time on Poseidia had come. Outside they could see people running around in the streets. The water was quickly rising up over the land and everyone was scrambling to reach higher ground. It was everyone for himself, just as it had always been. Lucas, Athena, Sara and their friends sat solemnly by the great window and watched. They had done all that was possible and now had to accept their own limitations. When the island of Poseidia finally went in to the sea, many drowned. Some had fled to other areas, for there were several occurrences of destruction in Poseidia before that final one. When the time came, Athena and Sara and Lucas and the others let their spirits withdraw from their bodies and rose above it all to watch, wishing that more of the others could have joined them. They looked on as the once-beautiful island was completely, and finally, consumed by the immense and powerful ocean. The only evidence that life had ever existed here was the glowing embers of the burnt remnants of the city. This had been their home, and now floated gently upon the surface of the water. "It ́s so sad to see the demise of our own community," said Athena wistfully. "Yes," said Lucas sadly. "But we ́ve known it was coming for a long time. And we ́ll be back." Sara sat straight up in bed, her eyes wide open now. "What was that all about?" she wondered. She looked at the clock. "2 AM," Sara thought to herself. She took a deep breath and lay back down, but did not close her eyes................
