St. Robert Bellarmine's Guide To Mastering Marian Apologetics Quickly And EasilyJesus summed up His entire life's mission in one sentence..."For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Lk. 19:10).What He says applies to all of us, because none of us could be saved without a Redeemer.Everything Jesus did was with the intention of saving souls. And here's proof that He has willed to need you to help Him save them.Pope Pius XII wrote..."Because Christ the Head holds such an eminent position, one must not think that He does not require the help of the Body. Yet this, also, must be held, marvelous though it may seem: Christ has need of His members. Moreover, as our Savior does not rule the Church directly in a visible manner, He wills to be helped by the members of His Body in carrying out the work of redemption."That is not because He is indigent and weak, but rather because He has so willed it for the greater glory of His spotless Spouse."This is a deep mystery, and an inexhaustible subject of meditation, that the salvation of many depends on the prayers and voluntary penances which the members of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ offer for this intention..." (Mystici Corporis, #44).Now, the Son of God, has willed to save souls through His holy Mother. As Blessed Pope Pius IX explained..."For God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary."St. Paul tells us..."For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" (Ph. 2:5).That means that anyone who has the mind of Jesus cannot be indifferent to the salvation of souls, because Jesus said His mission is to save them.And since He grants all graces of salvation through Mary, anyone who has the mind of Jesus will desire to bring as many people to His holy Mother as possible.That's where this collection of St. Robert Bellarmine's Marian writings helps you. When Pope Clement VIII named St. Robert a cardinal, he said: "The Church of God has not his equal in learning."As you know, devotion to Mary is often a sticking point for non-Catholics. St. Robert helps you easily smooth the way for them.You'll discover how he defended Mary's privileges, including how he defended the Immaculate Conception centuries before the Church defined it.He teaches Marian apologetics in ways you haven't seen before.

This material shows you how he lived his own devotion to Mary. You can use him as a model for your own devotion to Mary.Jesus tells us..."And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd" (Jn. 10:16).Helping Jesus and Mary save souls is also a guarantee of your own salvation. As St. James assures you..."He must know that he who causes a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins" (James 5:20).This book is an easy read.
