Gate Of Heaven - The Necessity Of Marian Devotion
Fr. Shannon Collins, CPM

According to famed Christian apologist CS Lewis, the Blessed Virgin Mary was too controversial to be included in his vision of "Mere Christianity". But is Mary really a source of division in the body of Christ? Or is she an essential part of God's plan and therefore essential to Jesus' work of redemption? In a word, is devotion to Mary necessary for salvation?

One Thing is Needful

You'll find the authentic answer in an extraordinary new three CD (or cassette) series by Fr. Shannon Collins, CPM, Rector of Mother Angelica's Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery. In Gate of Heaven: The Necessity of Marian Devotion you'll rediscover the great importance of devotion to Our Lady and what it means to your own spiritual life. Although devotion to saints such as the Little Flower, Padre Pio, St. Anthony, St. Francis and so on are good and helpful, you'll learn why only devotion to Mary is truly essential.
