Gate of Heaven (CDs)

Product Description

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 three CD 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.

Salvation Equation

As you listen to these inspiring talks you'll encounter teaching from the Scriptures, the Fathers of the Church, the lives of the saints and historic Papal encyclicals that will rekindle your dedication to Mary like never before. With humor, sincerity and profound insight, Fr. Collins will enlighten you on such misunderstood topics as Mary as Co-Redemptrix and spouse of the Holy Spirit. You'll come to see how and why Our Blessed Mother was essential in ushering in the age of sanctification. Plus, you'll learn the truth about Mary's relationship with the Holy Trinity and the powerful effect it has on working out your own salvation.

Unchanging Teaching

You owe it to yourself to rediscover the power of Mary's love. As you explore ancient traditions, unchanging doctrines, beautiful hymns and more, you'll discern the intimate connection between devotion to Mary and devotion to Jesus as you come to more fully understand Our Lady's special role in the life of Christ and in your life. Order Gate of Heaven: The Necessity of Marian Devotion today and begin your journey to the heart of Jesus through devotion to Mary.
