The Prayer of Mary

Christian Living

“John Paul the II’s greatest wish during his pontificate, echoing the Gospel, was that ‘that all might be one.’ It was the most important goal that he did not reach during his graced life. Deacon Keith Fournier, a man of the ‘New Evangelization’ in so many aspects, has written a book on Mary, the mother of God, whom he clearly sees as the person who can bring all Christians together so that we worship the Lord as one. Only through imitating Mary the Virgin in her prayer, humility, and deep personal love of the person of Jesus will we achieve that goal for the glory of God and the good of the whole world. Few men in our time have labored more diligently for true ecumenism than Keith Fournier. This book marks another important stage in uniting us so that we can more effectively preach and live the Gospel of Life to our society as Mary lived it out in her own life.”
