博客來Mary, Mother of Jesus
In Sacred Scripture, the Living Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Church
Among all the figures of Christian faith, none radiates such purity, silence, and spiritual strength as Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Woman of the fiat, the young maiden of Nazareth who welcomed the ineffable mystery of the Incarnation, faithful disciple who followed her Son to the Cross, and spiritual Mother who embraces all humanity, Mary walks through the centuries as a living, gentle, and luminous presence.
Published by CSS Editora - Civis Studio Sapientia under the Catholic Heritage label, this volume was conceived to present Mary in her full theological and spiritual integrity: the Mary of the Gospels, of ancient Tradition, of the devotion of the faithful, and of the Magisterium that proclaims her Mother of God, Immaculate, and Assumed into glory.
A Reading Rooted in Catholic FaithGrounded in Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, and authoritative ecclesial documents, this book traces the entire arc of Mariology-from the young woman of Nazareth who listens to the angel Gabriel, to the strong woman who stands at the foot of the Cross, and finally to the praying Mother present at Pentecost, at the birth of the Christian community.
Each chapter is written with clarity and depth, uniting theological reflection with devotional spirituality. The reader is invited not only to encounter the historical figure of Mary, but to understand her enduring mission in the life of the Church: to generate Christ in the world, to guide believers in faith, and to accompany humanity on its journey toward hope.
Structure of the WorkMary of the Gospels
The Jewish context, the Annunciation, the public ministry of Jesus, the Cross, and Pentecost.

Convergences and Dialogues
Mary as an archetype of motherhood and compassion, a bridge between cultures and religions, and a luminous guide for the future of the Church.
Because Mary continues to speak to the hearts of believers as Mother, Teacher, and Companion. In her, the Gospel becomes welcome, courage, and redemption. Her life reveals the beauty of obedience that liberates, faith that transforms, and love that sustains even in the deepest trials.
Throughout these pages, the reader is invited to contemplate Mary not merely as a figure of sacred history, but as a living presence who guides, intercedes, and accompanies the Church on its path to holiness.
