Request For Resources On Mary

[jazzytakara]

Hello,

I hope everyone reading this is having a good day/night (4:30pm for me), I was just wondering if anyone had some good resources on Mary and her role in our lives and the church, I start RCIA in a month, but I thought I'd create a solid understanding of some of the questions I have in regards to Catholicism as I transition from the United Church. I don't have a strong understanding or knowledgeable background on Mary coming from a Protestant church, so I thought I'd take my inquiries to the forums of Phatmass. Thank you!

Scroll up to the top of the screen and look over at the right side, where it says Re:Sources.

Click on Defense Directory.

That's a crazy-extensive collection of information we Phatmassers compiled to help explain and defend the faith. There's lots of stuff about Mary.

Here's the link right to that section if you're in a hurry:

That should keep you busy for AGES. Keep your questions coming, though. Happy to help.

God bless!

If you are the type who likes to read books on their own time to work on these questions, a solid start might be [url="http://www.amazon.com/Hail-Holy-Queen-Mother-Word/dp/0385501692/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347763603&sr=8-1&keywords=hail+holy+queen"]Hail Holy Queen[/url] by Scott Hahn.
It is an easy read, but the information is good. Best of all, it will give you a decent idea of where to go next to start getting more in depth.
