Publisher's Synopsis
The private revelations mystically granted to and chronicled by Blessed Ann Catherine Emmerich provide an intimate glimpse into the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and, by extension, into the lives of her beloved family members, including, of course, those of her Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ; her earthly spouse, St. Joseph; her parents, Sts. Anne and Joachim; other relatives and ancestors. Myriad fascinating details regarding the Nativity and the early life of Our Lord, and the Blessed Mother's final days on earth, prior to her death and glorious Assumption, are provided in this fleshed-out compilation of the four Gospel narratives. Original illustrations of the life of Mary, footnotes and an Index of Scripture References are all included.
