![]() Elizabeth of Schönau lived from 1129 to 1164. But they were all devout Catholics who dedicated their lives to their faith. The four "mystics" whose writings make up the basis of this work lived in different times and different nations. This work is unique in that not only is it focused entirely on the Virgin Mary, but its sources were all women as well. It explains the trials she suffered in order to bring about the salvation of mankind. The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics provides greater context to the life of Jesus Christ by bringing the reader closer to his earthly mother. After all, their gospels were intended to tell the story of Christ - his birth, teachings, crucifixion and ascension. Not much is said in the Biblical gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John regarding the life of Mary. Compiled by reference librarian and Franciscan, Raphael Brown, in 1951, this work brings together the visions and revelations of four devout women separated by centuries but united in their Catholic faith and piety. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Life of Mary as Seen by the Mystics provides a detailed look at the life of the Virgin Mother from the Immaculate Conception until her Assumption. ![]()
