Awesome resource!!!
Thank you!
This is really good resource
Thank you, Fr. Lawrence.
Tom,
Could you please show in the New Testament and in The Writings of The Early Father’s, before The Edict of Milan, where Christians were Praying to and Venerating Mary.?? Thank you very much. Jim E.
Jim – See the book published by Ignatius Press titled, Mary and the Fathers of the Church. It was written by Luigi Gambero. The first hundred pages are pre-Edit of Milan. I have also drawn from this book as well when I have written on the Early Church Fathers. I hope this will suffice.
Tom,
Thank you for responding and I have ordered the Book at Amazon. I was also able to peruse the first hundred pages on-line, and found little Veneration to Mary unlike The Catholic Faith of today. My question of course is why? What happened in the years since The Edict of Milan that saw the development of “Marian Worship”?
I am a truth seeker, that is all. When I first started my investigation, I was hesitant to read The Early Church about the subject, for obvious reasons. But I finally did and was surprised what I found.
Thanks again and I will be waiting for your future posts.
Again thank you for your effort,
God Bless,
Jim Eckland

There is another book you want to consider also purchasing. It is titled – Mariology and it was written by Rev. M.J. Scheeben (Dr. Scott Hahn use to speak about this author in class when I was in grad school. I purchased the book some years ago). On pages 45-46, I think your answer might be found. I would write it out for you today, but I don’t have the time. Friends are coming over for an early dinner.
Also, you refer to “Marian Worship” – although it might seem like worship to outside eye, worship and adoration is meant for God and God alone. Catholics don’t worship Mary! The term hyperdulia is a term that is referenced to her. Here is a good definition of hyperdulia – https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/dictionary/index.cfm?id=34033
