The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
From the Visions of Ven. Anne
Catherine Emmerich by Anne
Catherine Emmerich
Life Of The Blessed Virgin Mary
What is it about Emmerichs books that have provoked such consistently
remarkable responses? They are not merely works of uncanny power by a
renowned mystic and stigmatist. They present visionary recreations of the
exact details and circumstances of the events in the Gospel. These
recreations give the faithful the sense of being privileged witnesses to the
events described more sparingly in the Scriptures. The Life of the Blessed
Virgin Mary provides an in-depth account of Our Ladys ancestry, birth and
life. It also contains information on the hidden years of Our Lords
childhood, life in the Holy Family, and Our Ladys later years and death.

Personal Review: The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary: From the
Visions of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich by Anne Catherine
Emmerich
Clemens Brentano had planned a Life of Mary to be based like The
Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ: After The Meditations Of Anne
Catherine Emmerich, on his recordings of the visions of the famous mystic,
Anne Catherine Emmerich. On his death in 1842 the work was left
unfinished, and it was not till many years later that it was finally completed
by other hands.
'Though the accounts of these visions', to quote Brentano's Preface to the
Dolorous Passions, 'solemnly reject the slightest claim to bear the
character of historical truth' - being merely 'a pious nun's Lenten
meditations' - yet he was at pains to try to verify, often with surprising
success, the scriptural, historical and geographical elements in the
mystical visions he recorded. The results of his researches he embodied in
notes which are here reprinted, together with further critical notes, on both
the original text and Brentano's comments, by Father Sebastian Bullough,
O.P.
A treasury of holy scenes and pictures which contribute to the edification
and inspiration of the faithful; the Life of Mary is 'a worthy companion' to
the earlier book, and should obviously be read in conjunction with the
Dolorous Passion, since the one narrative often supplements the other.
